I was in a sports bar in Regina, on the road with Mike & Mike’s Excellent X-Canada Adventures, when Joe Carter hit the walk off home run against the Phillies to give the Toronto Blue Jays their second consecutive World Series win in 1993. Jays fans haven’t had a lot to cheer about since – until NOW!
If you’ve been following the team at all this year, you’ll know it’s been an extraordinary season. They’ve gone from a sub .500 team just before the All Star break (halfway through the season) to an amazing 24 games above .500 and the American League East division title at the end of the 162 game schedule. And that means they’re in the playoffs for the first time in 22 years. And we’re excited about it.
So, we’ll have the Jays games on the bar TV and the big screen in our private dining room when the team opens its best of 5 series against the Texas Rangers from the Rogers Centre in TO on Thursday, October 8th at 4:30 PM (Happy Hour!) and again for the game on Friday, October 9th, which starts at 1:30 PM.
The Carleton will be a great place for baseball fans to gather so let’s do it, shall we?
