My Take

What grabs me about Bob Bailor is a single line of history: he was the very first player the Toronto Blue Jays selected in the 1976 expansion draft. Born in 1951 in Connellsville, Pennsylvania, he became the literal cornerstone of a brand-new franchise, carrying the weight that comes with being chosen number one for a team that did not yet exist. I love that kind of pioneer's distinction far more than flashier fame. Bailor's career is a reminder that someone has to lay the foundation, and the men who build from nothing deserve to be remembered with genuine respect.
