Ex-Blue Jays president Paul Beeston content after four decades in baseball

TORONTO - Paul Beeston's old cigar boxes have been packed up and put away. The loads of paper that are packed in his filing cabinets are still a work in progress though.

The former president of the Toronto Blue Jays is old school and he hasn't changed since retiring last November.

No email, no laptop, no smartphone. Beeston keeps hard copies of files and uses his trusty landline for any verbal communication that's not done in person.

He still keeps an office on the third floor at Rogers Centre, with the offices of new president Mark Shapiro and new general manager Ross Atkins just down the hall.
