Today's POTD pays tribute to Roberto Alomar and to the first retired number in Blue Jays history - #12.
Roberto Alomar and his #12 are displayed on JaysVision prior to a July 31 game against the Texas Rangers.
The #12 on the outfield auxiliary scoreboard is surrounded by the National Baseball Hall of Fame and the original Jays logos.
The #12 spray painted behind home plate. Catcher Ernie Whitt was the first to wear the number for the Blue Jays during his playing days from 1977 to 1989 and also as a member of the Jays coaching staff.
The #12 on the auxiliary scoreboard and even the clock squeezes in a 12 for the occasion.
Roberto Alomar and his #12 on the Level of Excellence. Also note how section 512 is included in the shot. ;D
A special #12 tarp covering second base, the position Roberto Alomar skillfully defended where he won five Gold Gloves in as many seasons with Toronto from 1991 to 1995.
Jays shortstop John McDonald, a teammate of Alomar's during their playing days in Cleveland, addresses the crowd with Alomar's #12 jersey on display.
The banner for the retired #12 is unveiled in the rafters.
A similar banner is also unveiled outside the Dome.
