Blue Jays!

So this blogpost may be a few days late, but hey, I've been busy. So I finally I got to see a Blue Jays game for the first time this past Saturday. This has been totally overdue and I'm not even really sure why it took so long, especially since I have been getting more into baseball.

We go to the game a little after it started and the Royals were already up so I was kind of worried it would be a whiteout and the Jays would just give in. Fortunately, in the 7th inning, the Jays came back and Kawasaki came on the field. The crowds response to this guy was amazing and it really got everyone hipped up.


NOSEBLEEDS!!!

I have to say the atmosphere of the game was completely different to watching any sport back in the UK. All I can say is that it is very North American with the chants, horn noises, and music. I feel like it's more about having fun at the game with your friends and family than actually the game itself, but maybe that's just my opinion. I certainly would have still had a good time even if the Jays lost, but getting behind the Jays to make a comeback to win 4-2 definitely only added to the good times.

Jays win!

I am very much looking forward to seeing the Jays play again, especially if they play Prince - Let's Go Crazy!
