Last night my team, the Toronto Blue Jay's, got shut out losing to the Seattle Mariners 5-0. The only thing that made it bearable was that the pitcher we were facing was a Canadian.
James Paxton threw a complete game no hitter. The first time a Canadian has accomplished the feat on Canadian soil.
After 7 innings without giving up a hit the home team's fans actually began cheering for the opposing pitcher. A tremendous defensive play in the ninth helped seal the no no and the 20k fans at Rogers Center gave James a standing ovation.
After the game James flashed his big Canadian Maple tattoo and thanked the fans for the encouragement.
Just a pretty cool moment and I'm glad I was at home and able to witness it 😎👍
