Canada Day At Rogers Centre. Blue Jays Welcome Back Their Fans
Frank Gunn from Sportsnet Provides the Story
On Saturday, July 1, the Blue Jays kicked off their Canada Day celebration with a pre-game ceremony featuring Russell Martin throwing out the first pitch. The crowd was electric as Martin, a fan favorite, returned to the Rogers Centre mound for the first time since 2019.
In his speech, Martin expressed his gratitude to the fans and the city of Toronto for their unwavering support. He also spoke about the importance of unity and diversity, especially in light of the recent events in Canada.
The pre-game ceremony was followed by a 7-4 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. homered in the first inning, and Teoscar Hernandez added a two-run shot in the fourth. The Blue Jays bullpen also turned in a strong performance, allowing just one run over the final four innings.
The Blue Jays' Canada Day celebration was a resounding success. The team honored their country and their fans, and they put on a great show on the field. It was a perfect way to kick off the summer and celebrate all that is great about Canada.
