Anthem and Ceremonial First Pitch Thread

[HeatherCollins]

Who gets the honours after 22 years of futility?

 

I am predicting an Anne Murray or Gordon Lightfoot gig, with an outside Russell Martin's dad chance.

 

For the pitch, my guess is Robbie or Joe.

[Candide]

I'm hoping anthem is by Drake and first pitch by Avril Lavigne.

For awkwardness, Anthem by members from both Sum 41 and Nickleback, first pitch by Avril. Get the show started early!

Seriously. Does anyone know who is doing the anthem and pitch?

[Candide]

let the cat out of the bag - it's you, isn't it, Heather Collins?

[Sammy225]

I would like to see Doc or Carlos Delgado throw out the first pitch..... 2 of the all time greats that never got to the postseason with the Jays. Anthem sang by Bubbles (or liquor and whores) what ever he sees fit.

[TheHurl]

The first pitch people were named I think. My Dad read that Carter, Halladay, some politician were slated. Mind you my Dad is senile.

Members of Sum 41 and Nickleback first pitch, Avril catching.

[dineke]

Why hasn't Halladay done w/e Bartolo Colon did and come back to the Jays yet?

This is my first anthem, and am a bit nervous. I'm only 16 years old.

[G-Snarls]

Is 3:30 ceremony and anthem time, or first pitch time??

[ValiantJaysFan]

Guessing Alomar or Carter first pitch, would love to see Halladay though. Maybe Rush will do the anthem since Geddy will likely be there anyway.

3:37 is first pitch

I'd support all of this.

Get fat?

[TheHurl]

and ignore what I said. I'm betting my Dad read this as he is a Star reader.

He isn't fat...he is "big boned" and "full figured".

Gifted in diameter.

 

Or circumference might work better.

Well whoever it is they have an important job of stalling as long as possible.

[L54]

Halladay is the guy I want to throw the first pitch the most. Would be so fitting.

lol

[HeatherCollins]

Did I do a good job on my first thread? I think I should get to do the GDT because I am hot.

[Grant77]

Colon got stem cell treatment and the results are miraculous. There will be a renaissance in baseball medicine once the stigma is reduced.

[West Texas Forever]

I hope Drake and The Weeknd play.

[scagneti]

Wouldn't want to see him sing, but wouldn't mind seeing MB either toss out the first pitch, or, as was tradition, have him catch it. Would be nice to be able to stand up and clap for the man. Want him to have better memories of the Jays than his last start.

Sometimes you are pretty funny.

[Sammy225]

Darren O'Day for first pitch.

 

Wouldn't work Jose from the bench would likely hit a dinger off him then flip his bat and then be criticized for it.

[Jonn]

I have my moments.

 

Speaking of O'Day that would be a nice guy to pick up. His incentive would be he doesn't have to face Bautista anymore.

You'll have to try harder than that, Chris Hanson.
