Mark Saturday, March 27th, 1:00PM EST off on your calendars. It's the day the Blue Jays Cheer Club is having a coast-to-coast Jays event. Here's how you can be part of the fun:
Rogers Sportsnet is showing the spring-training game featuring the Blue Jays vs. the Astros on March 27th at 1:00PM EST. We'd like Jays fans in as many cities in Canada as possible to get together to watch the game, have some wings, and generally just have a good time.
If you'd like to get involved, here's what you can do:
Propose the city you'd like to see the game in, and the sports bar in that city you'll meet at. Once at least 2 people agree to meet at the same spot, we'll add it to the list.
Where we'll be watching the game
- London, ON: The Alibi Roadhouse, 25 Oxford St. W. Batter's Box regulars Brent and Mike Moffatt will be there.
- Toronto, ON:Sports Center Cafe, 49 St. Clair W, just west of Yonge St. All kinds of Bauxites will be there.
Proposed Sites
- Montreal, QC: Peel Pub
- Ottawa, ON: Hoops on Sparks St.
- Swift Current, SK: ???
I'm hoping we can get at least 10 different cities in Canada involved... so we can get out and show the country that the Jays are a team worth getting excited about!
Once our list is complete, we plan on promoting it far and wide to as many Jays fans as we can. No invitations or annoucements are required.. just show up and enjoy the game! We'd like you to promote this on other message boards; this isn't simply a Batter's Box or Cheer Club only event. All baseball fans are invited to come.
Anyone interested? Please indicate what city you're in, and what sports bar you'd like to meet at. Once at least two of you have agreed on a spot, I'll add it to the list.
