In The Second Deck

Hey this is my first blog, happy to be on the Network. My name is Papa John (Mark Risdon, not the famous pizza maker) and I am here to bring you an Italians perspective on Professional Sports.

"At the rate they're hitting homers, every Jays fan will get a souvenir ball"

The Toronto Blue Jays hired a new hitting coach in the off season. If he is responsible for the Jay's recent success, he' worth his own weight in gold.

They have hit 96 home runs in only 56 games into the season. If they continue this spectacular trend, they will set a new new major league record for home runs in a season. Leading the charge is Puerto Rican outfielder Jose Bautista, with 18 on the season. This already surpasses a career high of 16. Why are the Jays experiencing such success? This is the real question, because not even the players themselves have the answer. In my opinion, I link this success to hard work in the off season by all the players in the starting rotation. They knew they had some talent on their team and they worked their asses off. This determination is the centerfold of this Blue Jay's team.

It is a very pleasant experience watching a team that consistently hits the long ball, it brings much excitement to the valiant and reliable Blue Jays fan base.

Stay Spicy,

Papa John
