International Blue Jays Fans

Shame.

Another Brit/Englishman here.

 

I have an uncle who lives in Ajax and we visited him in the early 90s. I was taken to the Skydome on a couple of occasions during the Jays' prime, and returned to Stratford-upon-Avon with a bunch of Kelly Gruber and Robbie Alomar gear. I rediscovered baseball in the 2000s with Baseball on Five (a show I'm sure UK fans are familiar with), and automatically found myself following the Jays.

 

I used to work night shifts and would usually have Ashby & Howarth accompanying me, but nowadays am limited to the afternoon games. I've only been back once, for the 2010 opening couple of series. I missed out on the Bautista bobblehead (bah!) but I did bring back a fine Jays mug that still houses my pens and pencils on the desk.

Good for you Flashman. Let's call you a Brit!

I

I'm a Blue Jays fan from Scotland. I would love to hear from other Blue Jays fans worldwide to find out how we all follow the team, how we got hooked on baseball, especially if we are not American or Canadian and were not brought up with the game and how many different corners of the world Blue Jays fans live in.

 

My Blue Jays credentials:

 

* I have watched one game at old Exhibition Stadium.

* I published (very badly) a Blue Jays Fanzine here in Scotland in the 1980's.

* I have a photo of Joey Bats on my study wall.

Welcome to the board, all of you new posters and long-time lurkers.

 

It's pretty neat to see that Blue Jays fandom has a worldwide reach.

Key 22.....can you confirm you are from Hong Kong. That would be another country to add to our list that fans come from. (China)

[jays4life19]

King is from north Korea so you guys can add that country to your list.
