My first career grand slam in Road to the Show game mode inĀ MLB 12: The Show.

Edit: YouTube did not let me use music by The Black Keys. Despite what the credits say, it is not them performing the instrumental.

The Future Starts Now

Since I’ve already filled out my application for the Sports Journalism program I wanted to take, I guess it’s time to look into the application for Teacher’s College.

God damn! That’s expensive! Oh well. Looks like I’ll have some homework to do for the first time in nearly 8 months. Let the good times roll!

It appears the Toronto Blue Jays are getting a makeover for the 2012 season. The above teaser video hints at a new set of jerseys and caps, with BLUE being the prominent colour instead of the previous season’s black. You think it would just be common sense to make them the same colour as the bird, but who am I to judge? I don’t run a Major League Baseball franchise. Anyways, I’m looking forward to the full unveiling Friday. I’ll then have to decide who I want on the back of the new duds: Romero, Lawrie, or Arencibia?

“The Mount Rushmore of Blue Jays”

On my way home from work this evening, I was listening to Mike Wilner’s Jays Talk show following the Blue Jays’ 9-1 loss to the Rays. One of the callers brought up the fact that - unlike other stadiums - there are no statues honouring former Blue Jays in front of Rogers Centre.

Another idea she had was having a “Mount Rushmore” of sorts featuring the busts of former Jays players. Anyways, after the caller and Wilner agreed that there should be a statue of Alomar first if any were to be made, he gave a list of the 5 Blue Jays that should be on there (in no particular order):

To me, that’s a pretty solid Top 5. I personally wouldn’t make any changes, other than maybe replacing Fernandez with Cito or maybe Joe Carter just because of THE home-run.

What do you guys think? Would you replace anyone? Who is more deserving of that statue?
