Just yesterday Getting Blanked covered the supply and demand challenges for the Toronto Blue Jays. The Jays, undeterred, announced plans to broadcast some Spring Training games on a fringey non-sports arm of their vast Rogers broadcasting octopus. This, friends, is making the most of your ability to supply the increasing demand. And profit all the while!
The above video clip shows how far the Blue Jays have come, as the Jays used to cover over the 500 level seats they were never going to sell, a habit they kicked quite quickly.
Are the above two “paragraphs” just window dressing for an opportunity to post Manny Ramirez absolutely destroying a Chris Carpenter (!!!) offering into the fifth deck, high above the starred mark where Jose Canseco once cranked one as a member of the Jays (!!!)? Of course they are! DINGERS!
Canseco was with Oakland in 1989, not the Jays.
Yes, but didn’t he put one up there as a member of the Jays? I can’t imagine they commemorate a homer by a visiting player.
Mr Fairservice … you forget this is the team that sells the caps of division rivals.
It would seem honouring Mr Canseco’s homer hit as an A is exactly what they did:

Also – interested to note than an article from 1989 clearly refers to Canseco’s reputation for taking steroids. Isn’t it strange that fans in Toronto in 1989 knew what it took Bud Selig another 15 years to learn about.
Would I want Brian Williams back on Blue Jays games?
Hard to say. But I think I would prefer him doing play-by-play with Buck “En-car-na-shee-own” Martinez doing colour then the current set-up.
At least his voice sounds pleasing.
Sweet Merciful Crap.
I think you mean “Sweet Merciful Carp”
