End of Toronto week
Before posting yesterday’s entry I realized that most of my pictures of Toronto are of this baseball game. I was going to turn it into “Canada week” and have yesterday’s and today’s entry be of Windsor, but I actually have quite a few nice images from Windsor (as I’ve been there twice for a total of about a week, whereas I’ve only been to Toronto for two days–most of that spent at a Blue Jays game and Rush concert). So I’ll save the Windsor pictures for a Windsor week at a later point in time. Tomorrow we will return to Japanese things.
As you can see from today’s photograph, the attendance wasn’t too spectacular at this Saturday game. At this late point in the season both the Blue Jays and Orioles were out of the post-season hunt. The weather wasn’t too good either. Hence, the dome was closed.
What I find most interesting about this picture is (if you look closely after blowing the image up by clicking on it) the distance between the bat and the ball. It appears that the ball is at least two feet below the swinging bat. At first I thought that it must be a foul ball hit straight down, but that wouldn’t explain the location of the catcher’s mitt. I think Roy Halladay really fooled the batter on this one.
