Blue Jays-Rangers & Roberto Alomar Day

Been almost a month between posts so here we are in Toronto. I got to see the Toronto Blue Jays take on the defending American League Champion Texas Rangers. I had wanted to bring Benjamin but it was too hot and he opted to play with his cousin. I was seated four rows behind the Blue Jays dugout. Before the game, Roberto Alomar was honored by the Blue Jays. He starred at second base for five seasons for them and was enshrined into the Baseball Hall of Fame recently. His number 12 was retired by the team as you'll see below.

The Blue Jays won this game 7-3 as Edwin Encarnacion hit a two run homer and Blue Jays pitcher Brandon Morrow struck out eleven Rangers. Enjoy the photo essay, click on the picture for a larger version.

Subway stop. It was a quick twenty minute ride from here.
