    I realized during the pre-game warm up that one of my favourite, romantic parts of the build up to the game is the slow walk from the bullpen by the starting pitcher, catcher and the pitching coach to the dugout after their warm up.

    Attended by Daigo Fujiwara: Was raining all day, but turned out to be a nice night by the time game got started. Our Red Sox were facing undefeated Baltimore Orioles. Our young catcher, Blake Swihart, had a rough night. A key dropped ball in foul territory in the 6th (and Clay Buchholz allowed a home run,…

    Exhibition Game While some of the stars of the 1980’s were on hand and honoured during the pre-game show, the focus was on Jim Fanning, one of the longest serving members of the Expos front office and the manager of the only team ever to make it to the playoffs. Jim was a crucial part…

    Exhibition Game in Montréal, QC For the 3rd year in a row, I made my way over to our decrepit Stade Olympique to take in the final 2 exhibition games of the Blue Jays pre-season. When they announced that the games were going to be against the Boston Red Sox, I was confident that the…

    Game Highlights: Kevin Pillar, 3 for 3 with a Homerun – Edwin Encarnacion & The Parrot’s 35th Homerun. This was the final game of the 2015 season that I attended, with my good friend Pat. Rather than fight for (and pay for) insanely priced 100 level seats for a team that was on a serious…

    The final game of the pre-Tulowitzki era in Toronto – With Devon Travis & Jose Bautista leaving the game with injuries and Tulo not yet ready, they were short a position player and had to make crazy fielding changes. Somehow, Russell Martin ended up at 2nd base – A really strong inning by LaTroy Hawkins, I suspect his…

    Without a doubt one of the best things about this baseball trip is that thanks to the friends I’ve made at Ownercamp, I have been able to share my games with local fans. I was fortunate to get the chance to tag a long on a field trip with the whole team at Fastpost. This…
