Despite living on the West Coast I grew up a Blue Jays fan. My two most abiding memories of University were the back to back World Series. After moving overseas for 15 years and becoming more of a 'boxscore' fan due to time differences, I moved back to Canada and a whole new world. The Jays are on tv EVERY DAY, every move is discussed to death, and people want to talk more about the minor league system than the mlb team. I gotta say I like it. And now I get to write about it as well. I also write about the Vancouver Canadians over at www.yourvancs.com
