The ball offers a unique snapshot of the expansion-era Blue Jays roster, featuring players and personnel who helped establish the foundation of the organization.

Highlights include Dave Stieb during his rookie season, who would go on to become one of the greatest pitchers in franchise history; Danny Ainge, the rare two-sport professional athlete who later achieved NBA success; and veteran slugger John Mayberry, a two-time All-Star who brought established Major League experience to the young franchise.
