We rode on one of the new subway trains Sunday on the way home from the baseball game. They are pretty cool, the Toronto Rocket is a “six-car-fixed” configuration with open gangways which allow riders to move freely from one end to the other end of the train. They are kind of like the accordion buses. The maps are cool they have LED’s to indicate stops and flash when the stop is approaching. They went into service on July 21, 2011. The subway leaving Yorkdale station.
We headed down to the Rogers Centre early in order to be one of the first 20,000 to get our Roberto Alomar Bobblehead. We took the subway down and arrived at 10:40, the gates didn’t open until 11:00. The lines were already snaking around by the time we got there, in our line alone there had to be a few hundred people ahead of us. Once they open the gates, the line moved quickly, but the way they gave out the bobbleheads was a little chaotic, no real order to it, it would have been easy for people to collect more than one.
The coveted Roberto Alomar Bobblehead, this one is not worth as much as it is out of the box and no longer MIP (Mint in Package). A quick look on Kijiji and Craigslist have them listed for anywhere from $50-100. Even when we were leaving we saw some people offering to buy a bobblehead on the street.
When we left Mississauga it was cloudy and overcast, the forecast was still calling for 60% chance of showers, when we got down there the roof was closed. The Jays were taking batting practice.
Jose Bautista taking a few warm-up swings before getting in the cage.
Next thing we knew they started opening the roof. Not often you get to see it actually open or close while you’re sitting in it.
Some video of the roof starting to open.
We were sitting in the 500 level in Section 525R, row 16, seats 6-10. They are almost right behind home plate with a great view of the field. Unfortunately after the past couple of weeks they have stopped showing replays on the Jumbotron, there were a few close plays that the umpires have blown the calls, so now there is no replays at any of the stadiums.
The roof is almost fully open and we are now sitting in the sun.

Prior to the game there were some pre-game ceremonies to honour Robbie Alomar. They played the Journey to Cooperstown on the big screen.
There were some former teammates among the special guests.
Roberto Alomar entered the stadium walking down one of the aisles among the fans, he is the guy in front of the Mountie wearing the suit.
Robbie shaking hands with from L-R, Kelly Gruber, Duane Ward, Devon White, John MacDonald and Paul Beeston.
The MC was Jerry Howarth.
John MacDonald (current Jay) saying a few words, they were teammates in Cleveland when he was starting out. Cito Gaston in the background.
There were a number of video tributes to Robbie.

They had a big number 12 on the field covering second base.
They had special second bases for the game, they had the number 12 on the actual base.

On with the game, it was a later start due to the pre-game festivities. On the mound for the Jays was Brandon Morrow.
Jose Bautista watching a ball.
Jose walked and Edwin Encarnacion hit a two run home run to follow, the Jays jump out to an early 2-0 lead.
The wave.
The newest Jay Colby Rasmus was o’fer coming into the game, he broke out with a single and a 2-run double to go 2-4 and now sits with a 0.125 average since coming over from St. Louis.
The first pitcher in relief for the Texas Rangers was Yoshinori Tateyama. A couple of innings later he was followed by Koji Uehara.
It was a good game, the Jays scored runs in each of the first four innings, Brandon Morrow had 11 stikeouts and had a one hitter going through five innings.
The final boxscore for the game. It was a sellout attendance. The people that sat down on either side of us didn’t get a bobblehead. The one family arrived at 11:50 AM and there were none left.
We celebrated Susan’s birthday on Saturday going to see the Harry Potter movie and then dinner at Swiss Chalet. Afterwards it was time for cake. We all love cake!
The girls are making a little extra money this summer watering plants and gardens. They are watering Big Angela’s gardens while they are over in Europe. They will also be watering her neighbours garden for a week starting this week. Here is Angela adjusting the sprinkler and getting a little wet along the way.
A few pictures from Big Angela’s garden (Angela who works with Susan, use to live down the street from us when the girls were young, in order to differentiate between the two Angela’s, she became “Big Angela”).
The plants are still looking good. The girls have been doing a good job.
This week they will also be watering Judi’s vegetable garden while they are away. During the school year, Angela and Claudia were walking Judi’s daugther to her babysitters after school a couple of times a week.
We are sitting at the AMC theatre waiting for Harry Potter to start. Free refill on popcorn and drinks. Lights are dimming.
This weeks Soccer Photo of the Week is from Angela’s game on Thursday night. They only had 10 girls, so there were no subs and they ran all game. It was a great game against the first place team. They played them to a 2-2 draw. Here is Angela throwing the ball in.
You can see some of the five subs the grey team had for the game.
We are heading down to see the Blue Jays game on Sunday. It is Hall of Fame Day, they will be retiring Robbie Alomar’s number 12 jersey. He went into Copperstown Baseball Hall of Fame last weekend. We’ll need to make another trip down to see his plaque. We stopped there back in 1996 when we headed down to Massachusetts. The first 20,000 receive an Alomar bobblehead. Looking forward to seeing the game against Texas.
This is my soccer photo of the week, I like it because of the look of determination in Claudia’s eyes, she isn’t looking at the ball just to kick it, she is looking downfield. The girl in yellow gives the sense of action by her foot and arm actions.
Claudia’s team played to a 2-2 draw, they had a lot of chances, just couldn’t finish them off. Angela’s game was scheduled for Thursday night, the league cancelled all games due to the extreme heat alert.
On Saturday night we did our first backyard movie of the summer. Our feature was Rango. It was a good night, the girls had a couple of friends over, hoping to do another one soon.
Angela’s team won their soccer game 6-3, this was either the 5th or 6th goal, the goalie didn’t have a chance, but made it look good. I like the photo because you can see the ball bulging the twine at the back of the net.
Angela doing her Thriller dance/soccer moves out on the field.
Congratulations after a well played game.
