We headed down to the Rogers Centre on August 11th for the final bobblehead game of the year. Gillian was able to get the day off work so she could join us. The TTC was shut down south of Bloor all weekend so we took the GO train into the city.
It was Brett Lawrie Bobblehead Day, the crowds seem bigger than the previous games.
Once we got in we collected our bobbleheads and went to the main Jays Shop. They have a display of Jays memorabilia including the two World Series Trophies.
It was a great day and the roof was open.
One of the rookie pitchers for the Oakland Athletics. He must have been carrying the snacks for the other bullpen pitchers in his unicorn backpack.
On the mound for Toronto was R.A. Dickey. He had a good game going 7 innings, getting out of a few jams and leaving with the score tied 3-3.
Colby Rasmus went 0-4 with a walk.
Josh Thole with a hit.
This guy brought his own Brett Lawrie cardboard cutout.
Brett Lawrie with his second stolen base. He had a good day at the plate as well going 3-5 with an RBI.
After the game we went for dinner at Xam Yu Restaurant in Chinatown. Trying to decipher the bill.
The restaurant across the street is open again under different management, it had been closed for awhile.
It was busier than it looks.
Sweet Jack Fruit. The The flavor is comparable to a combination of apple, pineapple, mango and banana.
From Spadina it was down along Dundas Street.
The AGO.
It looks like a couple of these bikes have been here for awhile.
Then we headed down University Ave back towards Union Station.
A funky sculpture in front of the Shangri-La Hotel on University Ave.
With the subway shut down there were all kinds of staff at the entrances helping people with the shuttle buses.
