Toronto Blue Jays vs. New York Yankees

On May 12, after Greg's visit, we went up to Toronto to go to another baseball stadium. Our forth one this year! We went to the Roger's Centre. The Bills play a few games here during the football season.

Here we are outside. We couldn't get a very good picture because of the light post, but we did the best we could.



This is me outside sticking out my tongue. Spencer found a better view than the person we asked to take our picture.



The stadium is indoor. They can open the roof if they know for sure that it won't rain. The stadium doesn't have a drainage system, so if it does rain while the roof is open, then it can't get out and will mold and mildew. They didn't open the roof for this game because it was so early in the year that they were worried it might rain.

This is batting practice.



Here is the field. We didn't like that it was indoor. It didn't feel the same as normal baseball games.



This was the first game against their rivals the New York Yankees, so a lot of people came. It was pretty much sold out.



The Blue Jays have a good pitcher, Roy Halladay. He pitched a complete game. He is really good.

This is A.J. Burnett. He played for the Blue Jays last year and sold out to play for the Yankees. Every time he came out the crowd booed him. There was a lot of hate at this stadium for him. He is a good pitcher, too. He almost pitched a complete game, but they took him out in the eighth inning. It was the first time that the crowd cheered for him at all!

This is Alex Rodriguez, or A. Rod. He is the highest paid baseball player in history and people hate him for it. Not to mention him cheating on his wife and being a jerk. I actually have his jersey because I am a Yankee's fan and it makes people mad to see me in his jersey. And that is just funny to me. He got booed almost as much as Burnett...but not quite. Like I said there was a lot of negative energy in this stadium. It made Spencer and I laugh.

This is Aaron Hill at bat. He hit a home run during this game.

Toronto won 5-1. It was a good game.

This is the CN tower outside of the baseball stadium. It is a communications and observation tower that is 1,815.4 ft tall. It remains the tallest free-standing structure in the Americas. The only structure taller is the Burj Dubai.

We fought our way out of the parking lot and through the horrible traffic in Toronto and made it home late.
