As the Toronto Blue Jays wrapped up Spring Training on home soil, the focus immediately turned toward the regular season and of course, the home opener.
Actually, that might have been a tiny bit too dramatic.
Spring Training is long, real long, so the focus has really been on the regular season for quite some time now. Water under a bridge.
That being said, on Thursday afternoon, the bright lights of the Rogers Centre will be on.
A wave of blue and white will be surrounding the diamond, and Marcus Stroman will take the bump with some variation of Mike Stud music trailing him as he runs out the dugout for the 3:37 tentatively-scheduled first pitch.
