This was my second time attending an event here, and overall the venue is very organized. There are several gates that are pretty evenly distributed, which helps with the large crowds. Ticket prices fluctuate depending on the game, but overall I find them pretty decent. For popular giveaway days, definitely arrive early. Our game started at 3 PM, but people were already lining up before noon. My most recent visit was for Hello Kitty Day, where they were giving away 15,000 Halloween Hello Kitty figurines with bobble arms. The gates opened at 1 PM and everyone started pushing forward to get in, but it wasn't too bad. They had cases of the figurines ready at the entrance, and I managed to get one! Once inside, we lined up for the Hello Kitty caricatures. The wait was around an hour, with seven artists working at the same time. Each artist had a different drawing style, and you couldn't really choose who you got. But it's free, and the artists really take their time to capture your details. I think this was the best booth! There were also several Hello Kitty areas throughout the venue with temporary tattoos, balloons, nails, hair clips, bow making, an apple toss, and other activities. A lot of them came with small freebies, so I managed to collect quite a few things throughout the day. There was also plenty of merch available, although it was fairly expensive. For food, there are plenty of food and drink options throughout the stadium, although most of the vendors seemed to have similar options. We had Italian sausage hot dogs this time, and they were pretty much as expected. On my first visit, I tried one of their foot-long hot dogs. The food is definitely pretty expensive, but it's part of the experience, so you do it for the culture at least once. I don't know baseball rules too well, but there's such a great vibe being there that it's still really enjoyable. The stadium is well laid out, the staff are helpful and friendly, and we had a great view of the entire game from our seats. The atmosphere was really good and everyone around us was chill. Overall, I've had a good time during both visits and would definitely come back for another game or special event. read more

I went weeks ago to a Blue Jays game, Astros vs Jays. I grew up with the Jays we where there for a giveaway night, too, so that was a bonus. It was coinciding with FIFA, CDN vs SUI in Vancity last June. We sat in section 214, greats seats ... They opened the dome. The mascots were featured throughout the game on the field and up in the sections during the game. It was wonderful to be there and see all the heroes from the previous World Series dream-run. Then around the 3rd inning got up and walked around and explored the new renovations. So different when we used to come to 25+ games in the '92-95 years. I was great to walk around and see the game from so many vantages: home plate, first base, left field from the 100s; up on the skydeck which has the atmosphere of a house party on the 500s ... We got back to our seats around the 8 inning with food brisket and nachos and a sandwich and they were delicious! Even those lost, was exciting and loved every minute. read more

Tip: Jays tickets are cheap. I have purchased a Jays 500-level ticket for $20. I'm sure that there are cheaper options if you go at the last minute. Similar to the Toronto Maple Leafs, I grew up watching the Toronto Blue Jays when games were televised. I also listened to games on the radio, which I didn't do with the Leafs until I was an undergraduate student. More about that part of my life a bit later. I listened to the Jays on the AM radio dial at home. I remember how popular the Jays were that I'd be at my dentist and I'd be listening to the game with my mouth wide open. The Jays dominated the American League division between roughly 1985 and 1993. The Jays won back-to-back World Series championships. I remember being an undergraduate student, watching the game and the score between classes. There were TVs set up at Glendon College, York University in various hallways. I did Linear Algebra homework in front of the TV, with Jays games on, at home. I managed to pass the course. I'm not sure how considering how much time I spent watching each playoff game! The Jays rosters for those two championships were amazing. Alomar. Carter. Olerud. White. Winfield. Molitar. Borders. Stottlemyre. Wells. Ward. Henke. Bell. Sprague. Guzman. Gruber. Key. That roster was incredible. To this day, my favourite closer (pitcher) is Tom Henke. He was a force. You could rely on him to close the game and have the Jays win. Winfield and Molitar hail from Saint Paul, MN. Little did I know that I'd end up living in Minnesota for two years and spending a lot of time in Saint Paul for hockey. I have attended a handful of Jays game in my lifetime. I remember my first time at SkyDome before it became Rogers Centre, taking in a game with the dome open. I had decent 200-level seats, just behind home plate. I forgot sunscreen, so I caught some sun that day. The next time was for a corporate event in the late 2000's. We had 100-level seats. I don't remember much about the game, as I was the marketing person taking photos of everyone enjoying it. I do remember having fun and hanging out with folks more than keeping score. A couple of weeks ago, I returned for Work from Dome. My employer made it an event to have us in section 515 to take in an afternoon game. The dome was open. My team moved with the sun, taking cover under shade. Sadly, the Jays lost. We all had a great time despite the outcome. The Jays look strong this year. We've got Guerrero Jr signed to a long-term contract. Bichette. Springer. Santander. Lukes. Clement. It was nice getting re-acquainted with the Jays. I'm more of a hockey fanatic these days, but it was nice knowing that I still love the Jays and baseball. (175) read more

Tickets are decently priced and not as expensive as say hockey or basketball.. I was surprised that the prices of the tickets were decent for the first round of 2025 postseason. Unlike other sports venues, you are allowed to bring bottled water and your own food, as long as it is well packaged. Heck, you can even bring a large pizza in! No more highway robbery of expensive food at the stands. They do have a bag policy restrictions so check carefully before heading there. The place is huge and you can definitely walk around throughout the duration of the game. The nosebleeds section all the way to the top are kind of awful that you might feel dizzy just sitting there. THey do let people standing watching the game at the main level but you get blocked by the top ceiling. Baseball games may be long but now they have a time limit now so that the game does go a little faster. People tend to show up in the later innings so the seat(s) you think may be empty may not end up being empty anymore. Sometimes, the staff does let you in the empty seats, even if you don't belong to the section. It depends on how nice the staff is. Parking can range from $10 to $30. A short walk from Union Station to the stadium. Many entrances to the baseball stadium. read more

Going to a Blue Jay's game is a must do anytime I am in Toronto! Even if you aren't a huge baseball fan like myself I always end up having so much fun with my friends. The atmosphere is energetic, the crowd is lively, and there's always something exciting happening on the field. You can't forget to get some classic stadium food as well. I opted for the chicken strips and fries, which was a huge portion and super delicious. Whether you're there for the game or just for the experience, it's always a fun time at the ballpark! read more

The stadium renovations are amazing and creates many areas to just hang out and chill. Family friendly entertainment at an affordable cost (tickets). Food is overpriced so bring your own snacks or eat before getting into the stadium. The Jays are exciting this year and with the revamped in game entertainment and new rules the games are shorter. First game - I took my 5 year old and we had so much fun. Second game was a business event and everyone had a great time. Go with family or go for business - but just go! Go Jays! read more

Twenty of the current 30 teams in Major League Baseball have won two or more World Series championships. The Toronto Blue Jays are one of those 20. The Jays won back-to-back World Series in 1992 and 1993. Back-to-back championships are impressive in any sport. It's really hard to repeat as champions. Something else that's impressive about the Jays is they're one of only two teams to have a perfect winning percentage in the World Series with multiple appearances. The Miami Marlins are the other team (1997, 2003). All-time, the Jays fall right in the middle of MLB in terms of regular-season and postseason wins and losses. I remember the Jays of the early 90s. They were popular. Hall-of-fame, switch-hitting, second-baseman Roberto Alomar may be the most renowned Jays player from both the Jays' championship era and all-time. The '92 World Series was a 4-2 series win over the Tom Glavine-John Smoltz Atlanta Braves. The '93 World Series was another 4-2 series win, except over the Philadelphia Phillies. One of the greatest moments in baseball history occurred in series-clinching Game 6 in 1993. Team leader Joe Carter hit a three-run walk-off home run to win the Jays' second-straight title. He and the Pittsburgh Pirates' Bill Mazeroski are the only players to have ended a World Series with a home run. It doesn't get any more clutch than that. You can watch Carter's incredible play here: https://youtu.be/-F5HwiGm7lg. The Jays got close to returning to the World Series in 2015 and 2016. Those years, they advanced to ALCS, but fell 4-2 to the Kansas City Royals and 4-1 to the Cleveland Indians, respectively. 2015 AL MVP Josh Donaldson was on both of those teams. Finally, I can't write about the Jays without mentioning the late, great Roy Halladay. He played for the Jays from 1998 to 2009. Six of his eight All-Star appearances were with Toronto. He won the Cy Young Award twice. His first was as a Blue Jay in 2003. He was on the cover of Major League Baseball 2K11, not long after joining the Phillies, and inducted into baseball's Hall of Fame in 2019. Rest in peace, Doc. read more

Rogers Centre is a concrete bowl with fake grass [2**]. But it has a retractable roof which opened while we waited for the game to start [5*****], and the CN Tower looms over the field when it's open! [5*****] The Blue Jays are bums [1*], but there's good chow and real mustard in the mezzanine [4****] and craft beers, but no Molson on tap [1*]. I am conflicted. The Lovely and Gracious Mrs. YIeper and I purchased a scalper ticket for about half face, and I thought heck no one's here for a Monday night game, we should be able to wiggle our way down near first base. NO DICE. Every isle had someone checking tickets. The result: 6k attendance looks like 2k on TV because everyone is scattered all over the place. Stupid practice by the TBJs. I understand keeping people away from home plate, but let us hard scrabble ruffians sneak our way into an outfield seat in the lower section. We had to sit at the top of the 3rd level, with no one within 30 feet of us. +2** for the die hard loyal Blue Jays fans in this poor deprived baseball town. You deserve a better team. I am not conflicted about that. read more

I feel like if you're going to visit Toronto you have to check out a sports game. They have so many options, but what is a better option on a sunny, warm Saturday in May than a Jays Game?! There isn't one! The team plays at Rogers Centre for their home games, and the stadium is huge and can hold all the fans the team has. We were able to score 200 level seats in the outfield at a great price and enjoyed a nice game. What's nice is that they truly care about their fans, and if there's even a chance of inclement weather- severe rain, high heat index, etc they close the dome on the Centre, keeping everything indoors. We live in Buffalo and it's really cool to see guys that we know and love from the Buffalo Bisons get called up and then get to play in the majors. Most recently, this rings true for Rowdy Tellez and Vlady. Very cool to say that we rooted for them before they made it big! read more

I am 67 years old; played organized "baseball" (little league, bantam baseball, fastball, slow pitch...) for 50 years. Watched the Blue jays (and Expos) since their beginning. Just today (June 19, 2024) I was finally explained the meaning of "OPS" by commentary from Hazel Mae. Why did I not know this??? OK I didn't google it! On base percentage plus "slugging" ? What is slugging? Another stat that requires more stats? "OBP" on base percentage was plenty enough, was it not? "BA", batting average was enough, was it not? Anyone batting less than .200 should not be a major league lineup, unless his "OBP" warrants it! Case closed! I have no idea what stats are considered for "slugging? Home run distance, exit velocity, barrel percentage, total bases.....? Having said this the Jays , for one through four in the lineup, are currently last in the majors for "OPS". Even if I didn't know what it stood for, I knew it wasn't good (lol). Cheers read more

I had a work function here and the section that was booked was the sideline view with the buffet. After experiencing the buffet, I am telling everyone that they must try the buffet while watching the blue jays. The buffet selection blew my mind. There was steak, pizza, mash potatoes, pasta, riscotto and different stations. It was absolutely delicious. Plus we had an amazing view of Jose Bautista's rear end during the whole game =p. If you have a date night, bring them to watch the Jays game and treat them to dinner. You'll have an amazing time! read more

Toronto Blue Jays - Jays VS White Soxs - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We were keen for a game and seeing as though they play for about three days straight, it was easy to get to a game. Downtown, at Rogers stadium, they have a cover so it even runs in the rain. There's also a hotel there so if you've got the money, that's an incredible thing to do. We recommend getting tickets via stub hub if you're buying last minute like us. They have a range of options and prices and you can snag yourself a good deal. We got club tickets that have a private entrance, private toilets, buffet accessibility, and seat drink service. We got these at only $50 a ticket. The tickets were in Club 224B and had an incredible view of the diamond. Right behind catchers plate, we had a great spot - shame the team weren't so good on the night. Once there, we realised there was a buffet where you can dine and watch the game. We bought this for $50 each including tips and taxes. The food was awesome: roast brisket, turkey, lamb, Mac and cheese, roast veggies, soup, antipasto and a dessert bar. We think it was worth the price tag. Table service of drinks too. read more

First time seeing a MLB game with a friend. Booked tickets last second Saturday morning (4 hours before the actual game) via Stubhub to see the 1pm Saturday Orioles game. Ended up paying $47 total for 2 tickets, upper lower level 525, row 7. We thought the seats would be horrible but the view was actually amazing. It was a really hot day and with the sun, sunscreen is a must along with sunglasses. The alcohol is very expensive, about 12$ for around 500ml. I recommend pre-drinking if you can. Need to get through security so don't bring anything controversial. Parking is difficult but you can find something around rogers stadium for probably 15-30$ for about a 10-15 minute walk. Taking public transport is optimal. Overall had an amazing time even though the Jays lost! read more

My ratings for the Blue Jays would be a 5. But my ratings for the owners and the marketing dept would be a 1or 2. I cannot believe that with them being the only major league team Canada has, that the 50/50 tickets are only sold to people who live in Ontario. What the fuck is up with that. Also, why did they stop doing the Double header games as a BOGO FREE. Where is the loyalty to the fans, no matter where they live. They expect our loyalty, no matter how the boys are playing. They should do something for us (the fans) besides $1.00 fucking hot dogs. read more

I've been following this team since they played their very first game against the Chicago White Sox on a day that saw snow in 1977. Yes I'm that old. They were Canada's 2nd team at the time playing in an absolutely horrible stadium (Exhibition) and going to those games were not so fun but the team was fun. Exhibition stadium sucked whether it was a recessed right field bleacher section to cold aluminum bench seating to being too cold but it had some great memories of teams of old that won and had great players in their history and especially in the mid 80's. 3 of those players are going to be honored with a triple bobblehead this coming Sunday (Jesse Barfield, Lloyd Moseby and George Bell). Along with different eras, different ownerships (Labatt's hence the Blue name) different teams and different players the team has brought Toronto into the spotlight by winning back to back championships in 1992 and 93. Those were the days those 2 championship teams saw an ownership and a willingness to spend to create 2 different yet dynamic groups that won the division pennants, won the ALCS and WS in stylish fashion. "We stopped the chop". Who else remembers seeing Jane Fonda and her boo Ted Turner not happy with the result of first WS win in 1992? Who else remembers David Winfield overplaying himself and seeing him off the team for 93 and welcoming Paul Molitor... or the late David Cone aquisition? Who else can remember the team being lights out in the form of Timlin, Ward and Henke? Those were the glory days of when certain players gave us trouble we'll just get them to join our team (David Stewart, Ricky Henderson). How about Wild Thing in his fall off the mound wind up and follow through being basically owned by Joe Carter as we got to see him "touch'em all" going around the bases in the last walk off home run of a World Series winner? Toronto broke attendance records in the years with the newly built half billion dollar Skydome and the team was a sensation for years... and then winning suddenly became not so much a priority and when I say winning I mean spending. The JP Ricciardi years saw some spending on players but not a make up capable of out winning two of the now biggest spenders in baseball in the same division being the Yankees and Red Sox. The Jays went through years of mediocrity and noncompetitiveness. Sure a budget Cinderella can come by once in a while and do something special like the 2003 Florida Marlins against the Goliaths from the Bronx but those are few and far between. The Jays for years have been held back by one thing or another whether it was not putting up a competitive team thus not attracting players good enough to help us win or simply not getting it done based on a multitude of contributing factors, the Jays became the epitome of mediocrity putting up 500ish seasons and not making it to the post seasons for decades. Players of greatness would come and go but not enough of a cohesive group to put something special together until just recently in this, the 2015 season. Frustration had been built up to this point and the end of July in 2015 would see a complete turn around. Spirits are high since the most recent non waiver trade deadline moves that saw the current GM aka "AA" perform acrobatics and essentially mortgage the future of this team to take advantage of a weakened position in the AL East now. From one game below 500 to a team that has seen a record tying win streak, this 2015 team has done things to this point that haven't been done in years and decades whether it's having multiple game win streaks of 11, shutting out the Yankees back to back or simply getting some of the best players in the game today on this team the city and the fan base hasn't been this excited in that much time. That being said they get 4* for now because I have seen better and it was in 1992 and 93. Here's hoping I can update this review and give them the 5* I want them to have. Let's go Blue Jays. Notables: -Blue Jays level of excellence commemorates some of the greats of Blue Jays history and not just players (Tony Fernandez, Carlos Delgado, Joe Carter, George Bell, David Stieb, Roberto Alomar, Cito Gaston, Tom Cheek, Pat Gillick, Paul Beeston) -Baseball hall of fame: Patt Gillick (builder/pioneer), Roberto Alomar (player) read more

You never go wrong with supporting the homestead Jays. Although they aren't the greatest team in the decade, they will always be entertaining. There's nothing better then getting off work, hitting up a bar around the Rogers Centre then hopping in for a random game to only get more drinks. Yes we haven't been to he playoffs since 1993 but we will some day soon get there and when we do, you'll see that the fans of the Blue Jays are the most supportive out there. Definitely beats any other teams fanbase. But in all honesty, they have the curse of injuries and sinking development. But what makes them the greatest is they are trying. Working up from a great minor league system. Being smart with their trade/draft choices and getting rid of high cost with low quality purchases. I predict a world series win in the next 5 years. Go Jays Go! read more

I am a baseball fan - enjoy both watching and playing it. Since the Jays' glory days in the early 90's died down, this baseball club didn't really have much to offer. The team was terrible and attending games was boring. This year, however, the baseball club is injecting a lot of fun and excitement to baseball by rounding up a pretty good roster that gels well. Pat on the back to the Marketing and Coaching Teams. My cousin and I went to see an afternoon game against the A's. For under $60, I was able to buy 2 tickets in the 200-level. It's not right by the field, but I still had a good view of the game. I had a really good time at the Skydome (or whatever it's called now) and can't wait to go back for another game. Good for: out-of-towners, groups, hanging out with friends read more

They have succeeded with pleasing the crowd with action, both on and off the field. There are contests throughout the game and they play songs that encourage the crowd. The short breaks are even entertaining with Ace hyping up the crowd. They do funny bits with the players and it just makes you love them even more. When I was there the 50/50 draw winner got $11,000, so get in on it! The prices of anything at the Rogers Centre are astronomical, but that's to be expected for the price of convenience. It's a little depressing. If you're going to a game on a long weekend, arrive VERY early. The lines to get in at the gates are a mess and you'll miss the beginning of the game.

After attending half a dozen game this season, I decided to hold off on a review of the team until they became just that - a team. While this collection of individuals has struggled through the first half of the season, their recent 11 game winning streak (as of this past Sunday), the vibe in Toronto is that despite injuries and numerous obstacles, this team of superstars has overcome adversity and begun to have fun and play as a team! The team has now tied its longest franchise win streak (11) with a sweep of the Baltimore Orioles. The bullpen has one of the lowest collective ERA's in baseball hovering around 0.6, the bats are swinging hard and for the fences, and with the return of off season acquisition Jose Reyes imminent in the coming days/week, the atmosphere around this team is electric! Will they win as Vegas predicted they would in the pre-season, placing them as 8-1 odds? Who knows, it's not even the All-Star break yet and we've just battled our way back to a couple of games above .500. Lot's of games left and as is true with any sport - anything can happen. But the winds of change are blowing in our favour at the moment and for the first time in years I find myself checking scores and watching games as often as I can!!! Lets go Blue Jays #LoveThisTeam read more

I'm no Johnny-Come-Lately when it comes to cheering on this team. I've been a sucker for them since I first sat down with my parents to watch a game sometime in '87 or '88. Geroge Bell! Jesse Barfield! Tom Henke! Ernie Whitt! Oh the nostalgia, it jumps on me when I least expect it. I suppose the fact that I was watching a team always in contention helped peak my interest during my early fan years but I've been hooked ever since and find, even in their worst seasons, it's impossible for me not to root for them. Since the Expos moved south of the border, the Jays have become the only team outside the U.S. and have thus become the perpetual underdog...and who doesn't love an underdog? Success came to the franchise earlier than most teams but they've struggled to reclaim those golden years and have faced a lot of negativity in both the press and from the fans. The 92-93 seasons were amazing to see and routinely packed the SkyDome to capacity...but it's unrealistic to expect any team (especially one without the same resources as the Yankees or Red Sox!) to keep up that pace forever and those are hard benchmarks to live up to! Through all the downs though, they've always entertained even when they've lacked a certain spark. And despite being in the hardest division in the game - they always keep it interesting. Now with Cito Gaston back as club manager - it's hard to deny, even through injuries and unrealistic expectations, the spark is most definitely back. The games seem more exciting and entertaining than they've been in years thanks to the dedication of All-Star quality players like Aaron Hill, Marco Scutaro (my personal favourite), Adam Lind and Scott Rolen...not to mention the Doc himself. The league tends to ignore the talent (offensive and defensive) we have here since we're north of the border, but what we've got is one of the most talented teams in baseball. It's totally unfair that geographic location means that these amazingly talented guys won't get the recognition and respect they deserve. Makes me cheer louder and makes me that much prouder of the fact the players continue to bust their butts anyway...but makes me disappointed that even the hometown fans tend to ignore their efforts. But I'm watching...and I'm cheering no matter their record or their popularity. And if you've got kids - the Club goes out of their way to have activities and events ALL the time. Look into Jr. Jays events at the Rogers Centre - totally worth it! And if you're looking for a Canada Day tradition - I suggest taking in a Jays ballgame. SO fun. You won't regret it.

The tickets for the nosebleeds are only about $20 bucks, you get to wear the BJ swag and scream IIII LOOOOVVVEEEEE BBBJJJJJJssss at absolutely errryyone and you can get drunk and take selfies with your besties and not have a care in the world. If you want a fun date, or a reason to talk to your gf about sports (aka explain wtf is happening down there on the field), or make out in the back row - THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO!! I've met so many awesome people at Jay's games over the years. From a drunk dude who was convinced all Ukrainian girls must have side burns to a psychotic artist, running around the stands and doodling random people's faces. Yes, beer is over priced. but what the hell...YOLO! xoxo read more

Living 90 mins away in New York/Niagara region; Toronto is a great place to see a MLB game. Easy drive from the USA. We bought last minute tickets the day before on stub hub for a fraction of the box office price. Plenty of nearby parking, we parked in a ramp about a 5 min walk away and it cost $30. More than I wanted to spend. There were $10 specials for parking after 6, but we were a little too early for that. Sitting in the upper deck, with a child, we found tge "hidden" elevator to avoid the long ranp walk. Concession prices were the most reasonable I've seen at MLB games. Loved that they offered smaller sizes of drinks & popcorn for just $2. Great option for a family on a budget. They don't advertise it, but you can ask for a glass of water for free! Stadium is very clean. Bathrooms are everywhere and very clean. Free wifi is available. Great family night out. read more

See all

I was coming to Toronto to see the Argos play the Riders and I decided to go to a game as the jays were playing the same time I was in Toronto. The fans are ok most are extremely friendly but there's the fans who are rude. Overall for watching a game it's good. The tickets are not overly expensive. read more

Definitely not a bad way to spend a day and afternoon at the ballpark spending Canada Day. First things first - I am not a sports fan, and I consider Toronto Sports Team to be well more or less lacklustre in performance in general. There are such high expectations for the Jays this year - that I am still of the opinion that any Toronto based sports team aims to aim high only to disappoint at the very end. However, negative feelings aside - Canada Day ball at the ball park is an awesome time out - even if SO's parents and 1/2 of your parents are meeting for the first time, since all the pressure is on the home team to bring home the win - which they did quite handily I might say. Atmosphere - Festive - Canada Day - so it was almost a carnival like atmosphere before game time - the freebie of the day was a red Jay replica hat - but there were others like t-shirts and when you left the game - a free gas card. However you need to get there and leave there early - since they do run out of the giveaway stuff rather quickly. Once you enter in the gates - there are no IN and Out privileges so make sure you do all your outside the gate exploring first before heading on in. Beer vendors and snack vendors galore - they come up and down the aisles pretty much until the end of the 7th inning stretch - which is pretty much when they stop serving beer to you seat-side and once the sun comes out - it's ice cream vendors too. The food is pretty much what you expect at the park, which is more or less pricey for what you are getting. The game - pretty much was fast paced from the get-go and the crowd gets into it pretty quickly, when the home team does something unexpectedly good. Two bases stolen and the crowd is on their feet screaming and cheering, and hopping up and down. Seems the best seats are around the outfield or just behind home plate the catch those foul balls.. Taking a date out the ballgame or even the parents and in-laws out to the ballgame - because they'll have something to talk about and it won't be you. disclaimer: if either set of said parents don't like sports or sitting out in the sun - this isn't the activity for you to use as a method of introduction to each other. read more

I will preface this review by saying that I intend on reviewing the team as it stands now, not the overall history of the franchise. Although wouldn't it be awesome to write a review of the 1992 Blue Jays? Or review individual players? As the half way point in the season has come and gone I think it's safe to say (barring stunning collapse or monumental ascension) that this years team will land itself squarely where it has been the past few years; solid, yet unspectacular, siting amongst the upper half of American League teams yet failing to play any meaningful games come September. Trust that I say this with heavy heart, as I was excited as anyone by the fast start this year. Did they over achieve to start the year? Probably. Are they capable of playing that well for that stretch of games leading to the end of the season? Probably. Are you sick of me asking and answering my own questions? Absolutely. This team has had an uncanny amount of injured pitchers, leading to them setting a major league record (as of last night's game) of having 5 starters make their major league debuts in one season. I mean come on, who the hell is Mark Rzepczynski? He did through a great game though. Therein lies the silver lining. Amidst the extremely disappointing seasons of Vernon Wells (who I believe has the lowest batting average of ANY American League starter with runners in scoring position), Alex Rios and BJ Ryan, some great young arms have emerged. What can you say about Ricky Romero? The kid can throw and has Greg Maddux like craftiness with that curve ball. Almost all of Brett Cecil, Brad Mills and Ricky Ray have shown flashes that they are capable of throwing effectively at the pro level. At least they're getting opportunities. Alas it'll be another year of 'maybe next year' but if you've followed this team for any length of time then chances are you have the patience to endure such a statement. I know I do. I hold this team close to my heart, as it (and baseball in general) is probably my first love. Many a night I fell asleep listening to Tom and Jerry call the games on the radio and I will never forget my dad driving my brother and I downtown (from Mimico where we lived at the time) after Carter hit that home run to celebrate with the thousands of strangers that instantly became friends when that ball carried over the fence. Here's hoping for a chance to do that again sometime. read more

Go to as many Jays games as you can. If you went to Yankee Stadium, you'd be paying $200 for what you can get at Rogers Center for $40. And the who's who of Toronto is there, you can often spot a long lost acquaintance. I find the large twist cones for $6.75 to be rather tasty, and the pulled pork sandwiches at the deli is not completely overpriced given that it is stadium food. read more
