Antonacci: Canada “second home” to new ball hall inductee White
“The last time Devon White was in Toronto for the World Series, he was loping gracefully across centre field, pulling fly balls out of the air with a seemingly effortless ease.
The Blue Jays fan favourite known as “Devo” didn’t make it to the outfield this past October, stopping at the pitcher’s mound to throw out the ceremonial first pitch before Game 6 between his alma mater and the Los Angeles Dodgers.
