Before the brackets break, but with snow still on the ground...?
Name the 1 MLB player to have played in all 4 of Canada's: Jerry Park, Olympic Stadium, Exhibition Stadium, & Skydome.

Oh, flibbertigibbet. Murray was a 70's Expo who played awhile as the Jays. Gotta put my thinking cap on
Assuming you mean home games. Have to be lots who played in all four. Dave Winfield certainly.

Not Winfield either. I didn't know the answer because my Expos blindspot was all pre-Olympic. I don't think I ever saw Jerry Park footage or many photos until google became Google. |

I remember Parc Jarry from the Mets games in the early 70's. Only player that sticks out other than on a baseball card is John Boccabella. The announcer at Parc Jarry would announce him as "John Bock.................................................abella" Expos played in Jarry until 1977, Jays played in Exposition Stadium until 1989. So it had to be a homer because Winfield definitely played in all four

No, & I'm not sure he played in Toronto unless 1991 ASG? Or an exhibition Pearson Cup match #wikipedia |

I never would've gotten it in a million years. He's never been on the brain let alone a casual baseball reference rabbit hole. Makes total sense as soon as saw though - long innings without throwing his arm out, before they could retire on 10yrs' work. So yeah... another singularity that'll never again happen - Mr. Candyananada his nickname now? |

Dave Winfield did also. Winfield played for the Padres from 1973 to 1980, in both the Parc Jarry and Olympic Stadium days. He played for the Yankees through the exposition Park era and for the Jays in 1992, after they move to Skydome
