Let me first admit I completely stole the idea of the RFP aka Random Forgotten Player of the Day. Some genius used to run THIS BLOG, but mysteriously stopped posting a little over a year ago. Not sure why he left off on Danny Tartabull, but I hope he’s okay. And if you’re reading this, Mr. Originator of the RFP of the Day, I’d really like to know why you stopped.
Anyway, without further ado, I present to you Lloyd Moseby. It’s no coincidence that I chose Moseby. Chappy and I went to kindergarten with his daughter. One day he came to give our class a pep talk, and he was our favorite player for a good portion of the late 80s. He played 12 seasons from 1980-1991, 10 with Toronto and his final two with Detroit. He was an all-star in 1986, but his best season came in 1987, when he hit .282 with 26 HR and 96 RBI, along with 39 Stolen Bases.

He was one of my favorites for a long time! I think I still have a velcro Blue Jays wallet from when he came to our class that day!

Sweet…Let me know when you get to Jesse Barfield.

A fine suggestion! I might have pegged Tony Fernandez or Tom Henke as the next Blue Jay to get the call, but I’ll toss Barfield’s name into the hat as well!

I was wondering what happened to this site too! I used to check it every now and then, but out of nowhere he just stopped!

I know! It was an awesome idea. I’m hoping that guy will stumble upon this one day and we’ll get some answers!
