a comeback as improbable as a pitcher coming back from a torn ACL in 4 months. | ||

The Montreal Expos, Vancouver Grizzlies, and Quebec Nodiques all left... i guess canada is desperate for a winner and is rallying around the blue jays. considering they're in one of the hardest divisions and blue jays fans haven't had a whole lot to celebrate in 2 decades i think it's fair they're coming out of the wood work. When the Blue Jays first enter the league this city was crazy over them especially with the new Dome. They used to have so many sellouts and then the lockout hit and things went to shit. Talk about a bandwagon. | ||

according to my baseball coach when the Blue Jays first entered the league people went to watch the opposition.. guys like Reggie Jackson and Nolan Ryan. they didn't go to watch the blue jays. everything changed once Gillick got control of the team... the best baseball exec. for the past 45 years. Also, of the remaining teams the Toronto Blue Jays have the most recent World Series Champ. Every other team is a lot older than the Blue Jays and only the Dodgers ahve more titles than the Jays. Given all this, its hard to paint the Blue Jays and their fans in a sympathetic light. | ||

Sure people went to go watch Nolan Ryan and Reggie Jackson considering they're big time attractions and they were playing in the fucking EX before the sky dome. It didn't have a whole lot of seats man. How do I know this shit? Because I was there with seasons tickets. As for TV ratings. They were never really that good. Baseball was pretty big back then in the T Dot. Everyone I knew played and fuck we won Provincials a few times during that period. ._. | ||

It didn't have a whole lot of seats man. actually the capacity at the Ex ( CNE Stadium) was over 45,000.. the clinching game... from 1985, its on youtube.com, has 45,000+ and not many of the fans had to sit in right field.. standard left field bleachers.,... just watch the game and you can see how far out the people sit in the covered football stadium portion. cliff johnson was pissed fucking drunk for that game.. .just watch him stagger onto the field for the celebration... he is the last guy to join the pile of players and he can barely stand up. how do i know Johnson was a drunk? i read "The Bronx Zoo" by Sparky Lyle... Johnson and Lyle played together on the '78 Yankees. Blue Jays seasons tickets at the CNE Stadium? LOL.. you could sit in the outfield and go to every game for $81 if you went to A&P. i am a student of the game and somewhat of a baseball historian; i can back up my points. to get back to my original point: the city was not crazy for the Blue Jays when they first entered the league.. the tickets were dirt cheap ( less than 1/2 the price of a movie ticket back then) and attendance was "meh". i have zero "sympathy" for Blue Jays fans. | ||

Jose Bautista is my favourite Blue Jay because he is from the Dominican Republic .. the other country that cheers for the Blue Jays.
