Troy Tulowitzki Hits 2nd HR for Blue Jays, Becomes Young Fans' Favorite

Troy Tulowitzki bombed again Tuesday night, teeing off on an inside, belt-high Phil Hughes fastball for a 450-foot solo shot, his second home run since stepping into a Blue Jays uniform in late July.

This power, combined with consistency and a liberal spritzing of the "It's Happening" trade mania that's taken over the Blue Jays franchise in the past two weeks, has led to some stark and sudden changes in fan favorites.

Toronto sportscaster Pat Tabler noted as Tulowitzki touched home and trotted into the dugout that kids around the stadium before the game were claiming the team's new shortstop as their favorite Blue Jay.
