  • Going to my first MLB game!

    My dad is treating me to a flight to Toronto and 2 tickets to a Jays game vs. The Clevelands. We're planning on going to game 3, watching my favourite pitcher, Marcus Stroman throw against potential gas-can, flyballer Josh Tomlin. Then we can watch game 4 the next afternoon in a local sports bar, and fly back that night. I only miss 2 days of work, and work has been a pain in the butt lately anyway, recovering from a broken rib...

    First MLB game at 34! First trip to Toronto!

    I feel bad accepting the gift from my dad (it's a lotta money for one game), but he's had a difficult year, and I just want to make him happy, and he's pushing pretty hard to do it, so I just have to hope it makes him happy. He doesn't care about baseball at all, just wants to do something nice for me. When I was a kid, he took me to see the Penguins vs. Jets in Winnipeg in '94, and I got to see Jagr, but Lemieux sat that game out... still something I remember vividly, and something I try to emulate with my own daughter as much as possible. We both know it's about more than the game.

    Anybody in Toronto know a good place to watch the game? Probably a sports bar (although neither of us drink, and my dad prefers to avoid super heavy drinking spaces), but open to alternative ideas.

    very cool - enjoy! A playoff game is an awesome experience.

    re: a good place to watch the game - pretty much everywhere in the city these days! If you want to IM me with what part of the city you'll be in I can pick a few spots.
    It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

              Nice. Maybe one day I'll also get to break my MLB cherry.

                Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?
