The Jays started in 1977. Their sole representative in 1977 at Yankee Stadium was Ron Fairly. Now, Fairly doesn't have a card from 1977 as a Jay, so I'm using his 1978 card.
Fairly had one at-bat in the game and struck out.
1978, the Jays again had one representative in San Diego. This time around, it was Third Baseman Roy Howell.
Howell came in as a Pinch Hitter and got out.
1979 again carried one Blue Jays representative in Seattle. The first time a pitcher was featured: Dave Lemanczyk
Lemanczyk did not make it into the game.
In 1980 in Dodger Stadium, another Jays Pitcher was featured. He would eventually make 7 All Star appearances. Of course, I mean Dave Stieb.
Stieb pitched one inning. He gave up a hit, a walk, and an unearned run.
1981 in Cleveland was another single representative for the Jays. Again, it was Mr Stieb.
This time around, he pitched an inning and two thirds. He gave up one hit, walked one, and struck out one.
1982 at Stade Olympique the sole representative for the Jays was a pitcher..
What, you thought it would be Dave Stieb?
Clancy pitched an inning and was three up-three down.
1983 at Comiskey Park the Jays again had a single rep. But it was also the first time the Jays had an All Star Starter.
Yep.. Dave Stieb was the starting pitcher for the American League.
He went three innings, walked one, struck out four, gave up one unearned run, and got the win.
1984 at Candlestick Park in San Francisco had multiple representatives for the first time.
Stieb was the starter again.
In two innings, he gave up three hits, two runs with one earned. A Homer and two strike outs.

Three Jays made the Hometown All Star Game
Carter went 1-1 with a walk and a run scored

Alomar went 0-4
The 1992 game returned to San Diego's Jack Murphy Stadium
Alomar was selected as a starter and went 1-3 with a run scored. This was a home coming of sorts for Alomar, as he was traded from San Diego to Toronto in the 1990-1991 offseason.
Carter also started the game. He went 2-3 with a run scored and 1 RBI.
Guzman pitched an inning. He gave up two hits, struck out 2 and walked 1.
The 1993 game in Baltimore's Camden Yards is known for a few things.
One is this:
Another is Mike Mussina getting up in the bullpen to get some work in, making the fans think that he was going to get into the game. Cito Gaston was booed in Baltimore for years afterwards.
Alomar started the game and went 1-3 with an RBI and a run scored.
Devon White Started the game and went 1-3 with an RBI and a run scored.
