On December 12th, 2009 the Toronto Blue Jays changed the face of the American League East forever.
It was on this date that Alex Anthopoulos signed the mighty John Buck, the King of Scotland himself, to a one year contract worth $2 million dollars.
Some people would say that the Royals let Buck go because they felt that Jason Kendall was the better catcher. Those people are idiots. Open your eyes, John Buck was once included in a trade with Carlos Beltran! I don't remember Jason Kendall ever being involved in a trade with a player as good as Beltran. Retort? Didn't think so.
John Buck, the Mormon Masher, is the piece of the puzzle that the Jays have been missing since Pat Borders. He's two times the player Greg Zaun was and four times the catcher that Greg Myers was.
So look out New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox cause there's a new team on the block. You can keep your Posada's and Marinez's, I'll take the King of Scotland behind the plate.
