Mark Shapiro won’t commit to the time-table of his predecessor to get the Blue Jays on grass at the Rogers Centre:
“We’re going to have to prioritize,” Shapiro said on Thursday when asked if the 2018 timetable for indoor sod is still on track. “It’s like anything in life, you’re not going to be able to do the entire laundry list. On that list likely will be grass, once we are certain it can be done, and then understand the cost implications of doing it.”
Listening to the Blue Jays’ newly minted president and chief executive officer talk on the subject during a luncheon meeting with the Toronto chapter of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America, you came away with the sense that grass at Rogers Centre is somewhat of a pipe dream.
It’s too bad Jung Bong and Brandon Puffer are no longer around to give up the first hit on grass. If the natural surface comes to pass, maybe Toronto will serve brownies at the opener!
