Jared Macdonald
I've been a fan of all things baseball for over 20 years, but having grown up watching the Blue Jays, they reign supreme.
Whether it was seeing Mariano Rivera close out a game in old Yankee Stadium or Barry Bonds return to Pittsburgh after breaking the all-time home run record, annual baseball trips are essential for me as well.
I write about the Blue Jays because I enjoy doing it, and when I'm not writing here on Jays Journal I'm covering the rest of the league over on TheGoodPoint.com.
