The Blue Jays will also celebrate Alomar's memorable home run from the '92 ALCS and Joe Carter's '93 World Series clincher with Back-to-Back World Series Sweatshirt Giveaway Day.
New for 2018, the Blue Jays will take fans to a galaxy far, far away with Star Wars™ Day presented by Sonnet Home and Auto Insurance, while Rogers Centre will become a staycation destination on Margaritaville at the Ballpark.
