Maple Leaf Forever
(Toronto, Baseball and Hot Dogs)
Here are some pics of our holiday in Toronto, which was a totally brilliant experience. 3 Baseball games; 1 with the youngest daughter's boyfriend and 2 with the Missus who was only going to grudgingly go to 1 (with her Kindle because she would be bored) and then decided that we had to go back to see another one. So Two games against the Yankees ( 1-7, 7-2,) and then one against the Kansas City Royals (4-2).
A-Rod was playing in the two Yankees games and he didn't half get some stick. Every time he came up to bat there was a crescendo of 40,000+ boos, but it was all a bit Pantomime Villain stuff. They treat him a bit differently in Boston:-
Anyway here's some baseball pics from the Rogers Centre, Toronto, home of the Bluejays:

We weave our usual social magic at the Royals game
Then it's off to "The Keg" for a "Baseball Top Steak and Twice Baked Potato"
The City from Central Island and a schooner on Lake Ontario at the Harbour Front

You can just about make out the roof opening in this video (I-Phone so not brilliant)
It has to be said that Toronto is an amazing city, can't wait to go back.
AND THE 2014 FIXTURES HAVE JUST COME OUT TODAY!
