We’ve hit the fun time of the off-season where there is almost nothing for news.
The Jays pitchers and catchers report on the 11th, so at least we’ll start hearing about who is in the best shape of their lives soon. Actually, we don’t hear that much anymore as we’ve all made fun of it enough that no one says it anymore.
The Jays announced that a statue honouring the 1992 and 1993 World Series winners, and Joe Carter in particular, will be installed in front of Rogers Centre. The Ted Rogers statue is moving to another location within the Rogers’ corporate world. Hopefully, they will add a plaque honouring his decision to overcharge us all on cell phones. As long as we don’t have to see it anymore, I’ll be happy.
And there was mention that the team will start honouring past players and events more than they have in the past.
There is some non-Jays baseball news:
And the Rays want $1.15 billion from taxpayers to build a new baseball park. I hate that sports teams can get billions from governments, so they can make billions off of us. And, of course, we are building a hockey rink in Calgary for the owners of the Flames, who could build the arena with money they find in their couches. But, build a water system that works? Nah, can’t have that.
