TORONTO - It just doesn’t get much more Canadian.
Don Cherry will be on the pitcher’s mound at Rogers Centre on Canada Day as the Toronto Blue Jays face the Boston Red Sox.
“I can’t wait,” Grapes said Monday. “I will be throwing out the ceremonial first pitch.”
And guess who’ll catch that first pitch?
Not Canadian catcher Russell Martin, who would usually be up for such an honour.
“This time it’s going to be Josh Donaldson,” said Cherry. “I think it’s pretty neat.”
This is extra special since earlier this month Grapes went on Coach’s Corner to promote the fact that despite having such a great season, the Jays outstanding third baseman was way behind in all-star voting.
