Duane Ward Remembered: Blue Jays Legend | Toronto Blue Jays News

A Blue Jays legend has passed away — Duane Ward, the fiery closer who anchored two World Series championship teams, died at 62 from natural causes.

His legacy lives on in the hearts of the Jays, his teammates, and every fan who remembers the roar of the Rogers Centre when he took the mound.
