Foam finger, hot dog and baseball cap, definitely fitting in! I literally couldn't name any baseball player on any team haha. The stadium is superb with that backdrop, wow. Much nicer surrounds than Wembley or Tottenham 😂 I agree about the national anthem. I heard a few whistles on the star-spangled banner. Would be interesting if they had to sing the anthem before Liverpool and Celtic matches 😂 the stats thing has definitely infiltrated UK sports as well. When I was a kid you'd never hear how much possession a team has had or assists. 9-3 is a hammering 😅 How many games in a season?! Woah haha £45 isn't bad at all
Never been Tottenham, but I agree regarding Wembley, feels so corporate! I think there'd be a full on riot if the national anthem was played at Anfield or Celtic Park - haha I still don't get the whole xG thing in football!
My first MLB game was in this stadium too. As a South African, I just wanted to watch some cricket afterwards! 😂
Haha I kinda felt the same! I was here at the T20 WC started, so was craving the cricket even more!
Baseball feels slow paced but between every action there’s a LOT of head games going on (like chess). That’s why the stats are so important. Everybody (players, coaches, and also fans) is trying to predict the most likely play given the current scenario. If you guess wrong it could be anywhere from a slight disadvantage to possibly costing your team the entire game!
If you want to see quicker action, I definitely recommend basketball or hockey.
Thank you! I did think baseball seemed more mentally stimulating sport than other sports. I can see why certain people love it - would definitely love to visit a hockey or basketball game next time i'm in Toronto.
I enjoyed the British interpretation of the game!! Things like the National Anthem are so standard I wouldn’t have given it a second thought.😂😂 you had great seats! Baseball is a slow game- I don’t typically watch but going to the field on a summer afternoon is a pretty typical American pastime (even though you are in Canada) 🇨🇦 . Glad you made it!
the National Anthem is even at the Little Leauge (lowest level of children baseball)
USA! USA! USA!
sry :)
I didn't know it was a summer sport - but I guess it makes sense!
Agree wholeheartedly on the music being too loud. It's been a problem for 20 years at least. I think they have market research that says it's worth annoying fans like us because the music makes other fans buy more.
I honestly don't get it - it doesn't even play long enough for any kind of atmosphere to be generated.
Toronto has Football, but a very Canadian version of it, CFL - Canadian Football League, and their team is the Toronto Argos... great football! If you're still in town check out a game!
Toronto also has "football". TFC
I went to a TFC game last time I was here!
I'm back in the UK, but thank you for the recommendation!
You're Indian, lmao.
I'm not actually but good guess!
@@TheJournalofanExplorer He's probably talking about your facial features, then again there are a lot British-Indians and British-Pakistanis living in the UK.
"British Guy"
uhhhh no
Ethnicity and Nationality are two different things
@@TheJournalofanExplorer Wrong. A nation is derived from the blood of a people. Like the Jews or American Indians. You are not British, much like how an Irishman is not, and cannot ever be, Japanese.
@@TheJournalofanExplorer Incorrect
A nation is derived from the blood of a people. The j3ws, or American Indians for example, are nations. You are not British, like an Irishman will never be Japanese.
@@TheJournalofanExplorer Incorrect
A nation is derived from the blood of a people. The jews, or American Indians for example, are nations. You are not British, like an Irishman will never be Japanese. Don't insult the British people with this juvenile way of thinking please
