‘The Best Fans in Baseball’: Toronto Blue Jays President Thanks Supporters
Mark Shapiro, president and CEO of the Toronto Blue Jays, has expressed his gratitude to fans following the baseball season. After an exciting return to the World Series after more than 30 years, the Jays fell to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 11th inning of Game 7 in November.
Despite the outcome, the season marked a memorable journey for the team and brought together both loyal supporters and new fans rallying behind "Canada’s team."
“Thank you to our fans — the best in baseball. You travelled great distances to support us, filling our ballpark at home and supporting us at stadiums. You gathered around screens and radios from thousands of kilometres away,” wrote Mark Shapiro.
“Your energy, your love, your hopes and beliefs reached our players and lifted us all. None of us will ever forget what that coast-to-coast-to-coast support meant or how it felt.”
Shapiro, one of Major League Baseball’s leading executives with over 20 years of front office experience, joined the Blue Jays in 2015 after 24 seasons with the Cleveland Guardians.
He also highlighted a key moment from the season: “We toppled the Yankees on their home turf to win the Division Series.”
