Lets play ball
This is an image that I took prior to the first pitch being thrown between the Toronto Blue Jays and Oakland Athletics back in July of this year when I was in Toronto visiting. Luckily the weather was quite hot that day and the roof was open, which gave for a great backdrop for the image here 🙂 Sadly though, the Blue Jays lost that day 7-2 (July 24) and the following day was the worst loss in their franchise history: 16-0 also to the Athletics.
Nice shot, like the colors and the atmosphere

Would you say you brought them bad luck? Great shot, though. 😉

The Blue Jays never win when I’m at the park: twice in Toronto and once in Fenway park (Boston)… they always lose when I’m there 😦

Great shot but sadly the Jays have been disappointing lately.

True, but I was impressed with the fan base… I remember how huge they used to be in the early 90’s, nice to see some of that spirit still exists 🙂

I can almost feel the vibe! 🙂

Former East Bay resident here, so the A’s were my team back in the day. Still, it’s a nice photo. 🙂

They were another great franchise of the early 90’s late 80’s: McGwire, Conseco, Eckersley, etc… good times 🙂

Nothing more to say.

Nice shot. I rarely have good luck shooting into the sun. You seem to have perfected it.

Can’t tell you how many failed attempts I had prior to that… I barely think about it anymore, I just do it 🙂

Great shot. Love the sun flare! Takes me back to when we used to watch the Expos play!

Yeah! My Oakland A’s won!
