The excitement could be felt across the playground at Danforth Gardens Public School after word spread that the Blue Jays would be paying a visit to the Scarborough school. Students hung a "Welcome Blue Jays" banner on the baseball diamond backstop in anticipation of the arrival of a few players who would give a lesson in baseball on a beautiful spring afternoon.
Greg Pipher's Grade 7 class was treated to a mini baseball clinic taught by Blue Jays infielders Ryan Goins and Devon Travis, along with first-base coach Tim Leiper and mascot ACE. Along with instruction from Major Leaguers, the students were also given Blue Jays caps and Alomar Baseball gloves as a keepsake.
