Questions surrounding Jays future leaves fans anxious
NEW YORK — The Toronto Blue Jays drew 2,794,891 fans to the Rogers Centre this season, averaging 34,504 per game in 81 home dates.
Not one single ticket was purchased to watch former general manager Alex Anthopoulos walk around or talk on his cell phone. His family had free tickets.
And next season not one person will buy a ticket to watch Mark Shapiro preside. The Shapiro family also will have tickets, courtesy of Rogers.
So, if the on-field product is not affected, why so much angst from fans?
Why have some who, so caught up in the excitement of the 42-14 run and the playoff comeback against the Texas Rangers that they bought season’s tickets for 2016, already phoned the ticket booth at 1 Blue Jays Way and asked to cancel?
Why is there a petition to fire Shapiro and rehire Anthopoulos? That’s a “hang with ’em,” as they say around the cage.
