Wow, these Jays must really keep a busy schedule. Their day includes community work. Then off to hitting practice. Than game against the Reds tonight. Maybe more in between, who knows?

Who said MLB players have it easy?

Who said MLB players have it easy?

haha, they are well compensated, but I don’t think anyone would suggest they have it easy. Not that they have the hardest job in the world, either.

Anyway, I always really enjoy seeing stuff like this. A city supports its team (though I’d like to see T.O. support the Jays a little more in terms of attendance sometimes) in a lot of ways and so it’s nice to see players from the team take an active part in the community. But I hope your sister didn’t ask Accardo how his groin was feeling – that could be a little awkward

Oh my god It’s Jeremy! You are awesome out of the pen my friend simply awesome! By the way… Hows the groin? Still a little tender?

The Toronto Sports Team

Do a lot for the community.

For as much as the Leafs get crapped on for being owned by the pension plan and how they have so much money they do a lot of hospital visits and community stuff.

There was quotes from Burke and Van Ryn about how surprised they were about the level of involvement that MLSE had with the community.
