Will Frank get booed in Toronto?
Frank Robinson's comments about Montreal baseball fans were not well timed: the Nationals are headed to Canada for interleague games against the Blue Jays. Toronto and Montreal were rivals back in the day that both cities had MLB teams, but I wonder if Toronto baseball fans will stickup for their Quebec neighbours and boo Robinson at tonight's game now that the Blue Jays are the lone Canadian club. I have been a supporter of Robinson's since he took the reigns of the Expos, but I do disagree with his comment about Montreal fans not being baseball-savvy. After all, I'm a Montrealer born to baseball-loving parents who taught me how to read box scores when I was 4 or 5–we were baseball-savvy Expos fans! It will be interesting to see what kind of spin the Toronto papers put on this story…
