No not at all.

Hey - I actually only live 3 hours away from you (Port Huron MI area across from Sarnia). If you are ever in the area now that your dollar is stronger lmk!

Love Rogers CTR - I still call it the Skydome. It is nice to know you are not going to get soaked or freeze during a game...

Re: Upcoming Players

That is very interesting considering I never met a Jays fan before... What attracted you to them? I have always liked their uniforms - more in the past than present. A black jersey to me just does not do it since they are "blue". For a new franchise they have had great success thanks to guys like Pat Gillick. Despite being in Canada they have always been able to lure big names over there: Jack Morris, Winfield, Molitor, Carter, Frank Thomas just to name a few...

Re: Upcoming Players

I was about 9 years old when we got a new Youth Pastor at out Church. He was from Toronto and got me hooked. I was a Pirates Fan as a kid until I met him.
The only time they get guys to come to Canada these days if for Over paying them. But now that the Canadian $$ is up there with ours, they are going to stand pat and hope the team stays healthy.
I too like the Old uniforms better. Was hoping they would stay with the old logo forever and be a team like the Yankees with some Tradition.

Cecil was ok. I had just walked into the Skydome Hotel lobby and he was there. He signed my book. Saw him later and asked him to sign a card and he said " I already said for you ". But a kid got my card signed later that night. All in all, he was ok. Not too many bad ones.
I did meet Kelly Gruber a few times and we have had a beer together on a couple of occasions. I bought the 1st year, and he remembered me the next year and said "I owe you a drink". So we went and had one. Met up with him a fews years later and he remembered and signed some more cards. He was one of my all times favorites so that was cool.
