Oh Canada
We decided to celebrate Father's Day (Read: ME) by going to Toronto to watch the Blue Jays play. I had never been to the Skydome, and even though it has one of those erdiculous corporate names, it is still a nice field, if you don't mind watching people play baseball on carpet.
It was a sunny day, and I had a great time. For me, the biggest thrill was eating a hot dog that we bought at the game during the fifth inning. I know there are a handful of stadiums with Kosher hot dog vendors, but I had never been to one of those stadiums since they've become kosher. So that was a total thrill. I didn't do the whole Goy hot dog beer guzzling take my shirt off because A) I'm not a goy B) I don't have the body for it and C) I don't think that is the best lesson for my kids.
There were a few things I noticed about the game that seemed odd. First, there was definitely a minor league/county fair feeling to the experience. They sold 50/50 raffle tickets, made up their own song for the seventh inning stretch, and had some weird Take me out to the ball game recital.
Here is something else. The bathrooms were clean. I hate taking my daughter to use the men's room when we are in public places, but I had no problem bringing her into the men's room at Skydome. Even though there were only 2 stalls and about 50 urinals, the stalls were spotless.

Did you end p getting it touch with L'Bat
Did you end up getting in touch with L'Bat?
we talked to him, and he directed us to pizza before the game and hot dogs during the game. We didnt have a chance to hook up when we were there.
If you wanted an odd major league baseball experience, you should have gone to an Expos game back when such things existed. I went to a late season game (with number 105 or so, which raises again our old debate about whether dating someone anew got her a new number) against the Braves in 2000. To say the place was clean doesn't do it justice. Sterile is a much more appropriate word. The announcements were all in French, a language of which I know very little. Lastly, given that the Expos were mired in last place, the small crowd in the vast dome was eerily silent.
I hope the Bjay trip saved you the pain in watching the PISS-tons drop a big one last night.
