In case you haven’t been paying attention, baseball is cool again. The Blue Jays were the best team in the league in April and haven’t slowed down. Because of that, every red-blooded Canadian man is talking about America’s Favourite Pastime.
But while there’s little better in life than spending a sunny summer afternoon at the ballpark, a dance pack and $10 beers have taken all the class out of the game. Here’s a compromise: head out to your backyard, turn on the radio, and reach for the whiskey. Yeah, whiskey. See, baseball really can be cool again.
