Over the years, David Wells has vocalized his dislike for the city of Toronto, and more specifically, his second stint with the Blue Jays.
Doing a QnA with fans on Twitter, the former left-handed ace answered a fan's question of "what was the worst day of your baseball career?" via a quote-tweet.
His answer? The trade that sent himself along with Homer Bush, Graeme Lloyd to Toronto for superstud ace Roger Clemens, who had won back-to-back Cy Youngs but requested a trade.
Despite the sour grapes over his time in T-Dot, Wells put together a solid season, leading the AL in innings pitched at 231.1 along with a 17-10 record and a relatively high ERA of 4.82.
You can understand the frustration Wells felt, as he led the Yankees to a 1998 World Series with a MLB-high .818 winning percentage with an 18-4 record. The following season, Wells set a career-high in wins by leading the majors with 20 victories.
Boomer later addressed his problem with the trade was not because of the city iself, but rather GM Pat Gilick.
Wells did go on to praise the Blue Jays legend Pat Hentgen, among others, as being one of the best teammates he ever had.
