Memory of 1984 All-Star game highlights Blue Jays' Dave Stieb, Garcia, Griffin
Summary

During All-Star week, memories of the 1984 MLB All-Star Game were shared, highlighting three Toronto Blue Jays players: Dave Stieb, Damaso Garcia, and Alfredo Griffin. Stieb, making his fourth All-Star appearance, pitched two innings, striking out Mike Schmidt and Darryl Strawberry but took the loss as the NL won 3-1. Garcia celebrated his initial All-Star selection that year, contributing significantly with a strong first half of the season. Griffin, however, was chosen under unusual circumstances, only joining the roster due to a last-minute injury to another player. His performance marked a rare moment for a player with such limited statistics to make the All-Star roster.
