Jays’ Cease replaces painting in skipper’s office
The "Eve of Toronto" has a followup. And it's providing plenty of colour on the wall in Blue Jays manager John Schneider's office.
TORONTO – John Schneider, manager of the Blue Jays, discovered a new painting in his office featuring the name "Tom Selleck" after the one previously displayed was replaced. The new artwork, created by Blue Jays pitcher Dylan Cease, adorned the same wall where his previous painting had hung. According to Schneider, Cease explained the inspiration behind the new piece, referencing the actor's mustache.
Cease, who began painting in 2022, had his previous artwork, named "Eve of Toronto," showcased at the Art Gallery of Ontario and even had a limited-edition retail collection of prints, postcards, shirts, and totes created. The new painting, featuring vibrant flowers surrounding multicolored letters, was described by Schneider as a "great" replacement.
Cease, 30, recently signed a seven-year, $210-million contract with the Blue Jays and has had a successful season with a 10-5 record and a 2.40 earned-run average over 27 starts.
