Mike Leah is a professional poker player who has made millions. He is also a die-hard Toronto sports fan to the point he is forgoing the poker circuit right now so he can attend the Blue Jays' home and away playoff games.
When Joe Carter hit his winning homer to clinch the 1993 World Series, Leah, then 19, celebrated down the street from SkyDome at Wayne Gretzky's sports bar. Like seemingly all of Toronto and much of Canada, Leah wants to taste another title.
Toronto's string without a championship is certainly not as long as Cleveland's prior to LeBron James and the Cavaliers winning the NBA title in June.
