Mick, I wondered the same thing until I took the ballpark tour of SkyDome this summer.

TC stands for Tom Cheek, who was a broadcaster for Blue Jays games since the inception of the club back in '77. He broadcast 4,306 games for the club until he needed surgery for a brain tumor in 2004. He died last year. His name (along with the number 4306) is in the "ring of honor" with other Blue Jay greats in the outfield of Toronto's SkyDome.
