  • BLUE JAYS to EXTEND PROTECTIVE NETTING at ROGERS CENTRE and DUNEDIN STADIUM for 2020 SEASON – Specific Dimensions of New Netting to Be Announced at a Later Date –
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE TORONTO, ONTARIO JULY 29, 2019 BLUE JAYS TO EXTEND PROTECTIVE NETTING AT ROGERS CENTRE AND DUNEDIN STADIUM FOR 2020 SEASON – Specific dimensions of new netting to be announced at a later date – The TORONTO BLUE JAYS today announce that the club will extend the protective netting at Rogers Centre and Dunedin Stadium for the start of the 2020 Spring Training and regular seasons. While the exact configuration is still being determined, the club is committing to a plan that will see the netting extended farther down the baselines at both ballparks next year. “Fan safety is paramount to the Blue Jays and we believe that fans should feel protected and secure during our games. Extending the protective netting at Rogers Centre and Dunedin Stadium is a clear next step for our organization and one that reflects our team’s values. As fans and followers of the game, it is vitally important for us to preserve and enhance the live baseball experience, while also ensuring everyone who visits our ballparks can do so safely,” says Andrew Miller, Executive Vice President of Business Operations, Toronto Blue Jays. The Blue Jays are currently developing a design plan for netting at Rogers Centre that provides a safe fan experience, maintains the standard Blue Jays fans expect, and addresses the structural specifications of the building, including the geometry of the field, seating bowl, and roof. The club will share additional details about netting as plans are finalized. Media Contacts Jessica Beard, [email protected], 416.357.3147 Madeleine Davidson, [email protected] , 416.464.2441 .

Baseball in Canada SAMUEL R. HILL* INTRODUCTION Baseball scholars and historians have long accepted that Abner Doubleday did not invent baseball in Cooperstown, New York in 1839.' Doubleday's baseball legend survives, however, as part of baseball folklore; Americans would likely deride the suggestion that a foreign country created baseball. Yet, Canadians recorded a "baseball" game played in 1838 in Beachville, Ontario.' Does the Canadian record debunk the Doubleday baseball legend? The answer, in all likelihood, is no. The modem-day game of baseball most resembles the form of baseball developed in New York in the early nineteenth century.' Canadian baseball, however, developed on a parallel and often intertwined path with that of its American counterpart, and played an instrumental role in shaping baseball as we know it today.

  • Made in America the Blue Jays Land in Toronto, April 1977
    EMMA PLATOFF MADE IN AMERICA THE BLUE JAYS LAND IN TORONTO, APRIL 1977 In 1977, Toronto embarked on the ambitious project of bringing baseball to the Great White North. So eager was Hogtown to host baseball, that, having settled for a subpar stadium, city leaders took care to spell out the game’s rules, lingo, and mathematics to the newspaper-reading public, hoping to convert thousands of Torontonians into baseball’s first Canadian fanbase. The trappings of baseball culture in the States were an integral part of the move—from the songs to the drinks in the stands—all of which became incor- porated into a new synthesis of baseball and Canadian culture. Graham Ambrose, BR ’18, colorfully captures the Toronto Blue Jays’ thrilling first season and popular success. Visiting the machinators behind baseball’s rise to success as well as public’s reactions, the follow- ing pages are an immersive look into the pastime’s often-surprising first years in Canada. By Graham Ambrose, JE ’18 Written for “Quebec and Canada, 1791-Present” Professor Jay Gitlin Faculty Advisor: Jay Gitlin Edited by Christine Wang, Gillian Page, and Heidi Katter 29 MADE IN AMERICA Toronto alderman George Ben had earned a reputation for sternness. A veteran of the Royal Canadian Air Force during the Second World War,1 Ben exhibited little patience for the more frivolous ventures of the Toronto City Council. Across fifteen years in public ser- vice, few such ventures proved more frivolous to the Spartan, Slovakian-born lawyer2 than the arrival of Major League Baseball in Toronto.
