Toronto Blue Jays

October 14th, 2016 was an exciting day for baseball fans in Toronto, Ontario. The Toronto Blue Jays prepared to face off against Cleveland in the American League Championship Series.

Derek Holland and Martin Perez have come back and provided a boost to the ball club, brining some much-needed stability to the rotation. Even though their numbers might not seem to impressive this year, their presence and leadership in the clubhouse has been invaluable. 2) It looks like, in game 1, the Blue Jays will have to deal with a guy who has owned them this season- Yovanni Gallardo.

Located…

There was no village nearby of even the modest size of Fulstow. The buzz around the area at the time was the just opened Colburne Iron Furnace at Olinda that could employ some 60 men. It, in the early 1830s, supplied iron castings and works for points in the US and even spoons for Toronto. Lesson’s for a Would Be Rebel For…
