TORONTO -- Mark Shapiro and Ross Atkins will have a chance to see the results of their hard work over the past few years.
Their former team, the Cleveland Indians, will be riding a 12-game winning streak when it visits the Rogers Centre for a four-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays that starts Thursday.
Shapiro, the Blue Jays president and CEO, and Atkins, the club's general manager, joined Toronto late last season after previously working for the Indians.
"I'm deeply invested in them and their performance and I'm pulling for them," Shapiro told The Canadian Press on Wednesday.
