Dunedin Blue Jays (1978-1979)
The original, short-lived Dunedian Blue Jays team played in the Florida State League in 1978 and 1979. Future Toronto Blue Jays stars Jesse Barfield, Lloyd Moseby & Dave Steib began their rise through the ranks at Grant Field during these years. This franchise, owned by a local undertaker and his wife, went out of business in September 1979. The modern day Dunedin Blue Jays are a different club that arrived in town in 1987.
