And I had to put my head up and I was like, who's playing Soca on their phone?
And lo and behold, it was the DJ on the Jumbotron was playing a Soca song.
And that is something that didn't exist when I was a kid at the ballpark.
And I think it's just great that the Jays are doing that nowadays.
But I would argue he's more of like a Jays critic.
Because when, for example... So he's on here like, why aren't they chirping Schneider?
Why are they talking about cricket night?
They should be talking about firing the manager.
No, he wants to talk about mechanics and why Vlade's mechanics are off.
Yeah, but you know what?
Even to kind of attach the conversation to the current ball club, and I wrote a story last week about Okamoto and how, you know, now we've seen the Jays dive in on different cultures, different themes, different...
the parts of the city that are underrepresented.
Well, the next up in the ballpark is the Japanese element.
And so the story kind of looked at how the Jays are kind of dipping their toes in that water from a business standpoint.
So if you notice the first series against the Dodgers,
The Jays would have a bunch of Japanese signage throughout the ballpark.
They had an Ontario tourism sign in Japanese lettering saying, welcome to Toronto or welcome to Ontario.
And that's something the Jays are going to focus on going forward.
And so I think, you know, from a holistic picture, this organization is really trying its best to
to be representative of the city.
