\"Je n'en reviens toujours pas d'avoir \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9lu au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e du baseball canadien. Le fait d'avoir \u00e9t\u00e9 rep\u00each\u00e9 par les Blue Jays et d'avoir jou\u00e9 pour eux a toujours signifi\u00e9 beaucoup pour ma famille et moi. Je suis vraiment honor\u00e9, touch\u00e9 et sans voix en ce moment.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apr\u00e8s avoir \u00e9t\u00e9 s\u00e9lectionn\u00e9 au neuvi\u00e8me tour du rep\u00eachage de la MLB par les Blue Jays en 1977, Jesse Barfield a pass\u00e9 environ cinq saisons dans les mineures avant de faire ses d\u00e9buts dans la grande ligue le 3 septembre 1981. Trois jours plus tard, il a frapp\u00e9 son premier coup de circuit - une claque de deux points contre le gaucher Britt Burns des White Sox de Chicago en cinqui\u00e8me manche d'une victoire de 3-2 des Blue Jays au Comiskey Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting in 1982, Barfield became the club\u2019s regular right fielder and he not only showcased power at the plate, but one of the greatest throwing arms in big league history from right field. On April 24, 1982, he became the first Blue Jay to hit a pinch-hit grand slam when he did so in the bottom of the eighth inning at Exhibition Stadium off Boston Red Sox left-hander Tom Burgmeier. It was one of his 18 home runs that season, which helped him earn Blue Jays Rookie of the Year honours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For an encore, Barfield clubbed 27 home runs in 1983, his first of six 20-home run seasons. Two years later, the right-handed hitting slugger helped lead the Blue Jays to their first American League East title when he had 27 home runs, 22 stolen bases and 22 outfield assists. This made him just the fourth player (Chuck Klein of the Philadelphia Phillies (1932) was the first) in big league history to have at least 20 home runs, 20 stolen bases and 20 outfield assists in the same campaign. His 22 outfield assists remain a Blue Jays\u2019 single-season record. For his efforts, he was voted Blue Jays Player of the Year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barfield a poursuivi sur sa lanc\u00e9e en \u00e9tablissant un record de l'\u00e9poque avec 40 circuis en 1986. Cette saison-l\u00e0, il devient \u00e9galement le premier Jay \u00e0 \u00eatre en t\u00eate de la Ligue am\u00e9ricaine pour les longues balles. Il a \u00e9galement termin\u00e9 deuxi\u00e8me pour la moyenne de puissance (,559) et les coups de plus d'un but (77) et troisi\u00e8me pour la moyenne OPS (,927). Ses performances lui valent sa premi\u00e8re s\u00e9lection au match des \u00e9toiles b\u00e2ton d'argent. Pour sa d\u00e9fense exceptionnelle au champ droit, il re\u00e7oit \u00e9galement le premier de ses deux gants d'or cons\u00e9cutifs en plus d'\u00eatre nomm\u00e9 le joueur de l'ann\u00e9e pour la deuxi\u00e8me fois de suite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le puissant bras de Barfield est largement reconnu comme l'un des meilleurs de l'histoire des ligues majeures. Au cours de ses neuf saisons avec les Blue Jays, il s'est hiss\u00e9 quatre fois au premier rang des voltigeurs de la Ligue am\u00e9ricaine pour les assistances (1985 \u00e0 1987, 1989) et trois fois pour les retraits (1985 \u00e0 1987)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Au total, au cours de ses neuf saisons avec les Blue Jays, Barfield a disput\u00e9 1032 matchs et se classe dans le top 10 de l'histoire du club dans plusieurs cat\u00e9gories, notamment au quatri\u00e8me rang pour la moyenne WAR (29,5), au septi\u00e8me rang pour les coups de circuit (179) et au neuvi\u00e8me rang pour le total de buts (1 672) et les points produits (527).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le 30 avril 1989, Barfield est \u00e9chang\u00e9 aux Yankees de New York contre le gaucher Al Leiter. Il jouera quatre autres saisons avec les Bombardiers du Bronx et sera \u00e0 nouveau le meilleur joueur de champ ext\u00e9rieur de l'Am\u00e9ricaine pour les aides en 1990. Il a termin\u00e9 sa carri\u00e8re dans les Majeures avec 241 circuits, une moyenne OPS de ,802, un WAR de 39,4 et 162 assistances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesse Barfield continues to represent the Blue Jays at youth camps and JaysCare Foundation functions across Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
