Coincidentally, I just got all the family Jays gear sorted today in anticipation of going to a game next weekend. Been four or five years since I've been. Now I'm even more pumped. Though this probably means it'll be like a 1-0 game.
A few weeks ago the Jays were also playing the Sox and our work team got tickets but I couldn't make it. The managing director is actually located in Boston but he couldn't make it due to passport issues. Jays won that game and hit a few HRs so our team rubbed it in to the managing director but then the Jays started slumping and Boston surpassed them so he had the last laugh. But with this thrashing, we're going to turn it around on him again. Ultimately though, 4 WS, 6 SBs, 1 SC and 1 Larry O'B. for his hometown teams in the past 20 years. And numerous other finals appearances so he's not too bothered.
On a related note, Fenway was also the first place I caught a foul ball, when I was 10 years old. Incidentally, also the place I discovered that guys still peed in troughs and not urinals. I have been told that those have since been replaced, thankfully.
Is it just me or have the Jays had a top 5 offense for like 15+ years in a row? It seems like every now and then I hear a stat about how many HRs they've hit for the year and how high it ranks in the league.
