Toronto Blue Jays fan arrested for splattering beer on baby

The Blue Jays play in hitter-friendly Rogers Centre, so naturally theyre among the best in baseball at scoring with a single swing.

It was something we’d never seen, and something several baseball lifers had never seen. Despite spending more than $780 million on payroll in the last three years, the Dodgers have not reached the World Series since winning the title in 1988. It really was. It was intense.

Here are seven key storylines to watch for in the best-of-seven American League Championship Series, which begins tonight at 8 p.m. ET. They finished second in the AL East in 1984 and entered the 1985 season with lofty expectations.

Royals outfielder Alex Rios, who also played for the Jays “a long time ago now”, he said, but still is friendly with several of Toronto’s players, agreed.

To illustrate just how far the Jays have come, you can go back a little further, to the last game they played at Kauffman Stadium this season, on the Sunday before the All-Star break.

Fans littered the field with objects during the delay as umpires sorted out a play that is certain to rank up there with Derek Jeter’s Jeffrey Maier homer in 1996 or Reggie Jackson’s hip block of a throw in the 1978 World Series as one of the craziest in the postseason.

While center fielder Lorenzo Cain has been the team’s MVP, Morales has been its most pleasant surprise. Right-hander Yordano Ventura will start for the Royals.

“He got mad at everybody like he’s Barry Bonds”, Volquez said.

“It’s going to be a good series, both teams are well equipped, ” Rios said. The Blue Jays clinched their first trip to the American League Championship Series since 1993, overcoming one of the most freaky plays in playoff history by taking advantage of three Rangers errors for a 6-3 victory.

By Saturday night, either LSU or Florida will have one loss.

But as Const. Wendy Drummond accurately tweeted during Wednesday night’s game, “The actions you take will not affect the outcome of the game, only effect the perception of #Toronto”.

But gave up no homers.

Basically, if the batter is still in the box and is not making a clear motion to affect or interfere with the ball, and the ball were to make contact with him, that makes it still a live ball. These clubs ranked 1 and 2, or something close to it, in another category besides record: showing emotion on the field, whether it be pitchers chest-pounding their way back into the dugout after a big strikeout or a bit of styling after a big home run.

The Joplin native was in Springfield Thursday visiting with fans and judging a custom hamburger contest. “So when they come into the playground and there’s a kid that’s bigger than they are for a day, I think it probably ticks them off. And I can’t blame ’em”. I think I blew a tire in the first race running third or fourth.

But police say Wednesday’s flare-up is “not indicative” of typical fan behaviour and they don’t expect a repeat of the incident that left a man facing a mischief charge. Then again, the Royals can’t catch home runs. “I really do truly look forward to, not only next season, but the next couple of years….”
