Such emotion isn't often seen during Spring Training games. And it was another example that this weekend's two-game set at Olympic Stadium -- which concluded with the Red Sox downing the Blue Jays, 7-4 -- felt nothing like Spring Training.
The fans seemed to love every moment of the two games, and they made it known by clapping and roaring. Saturday's crowd was 53,420, bringing the two-game total to 106,102.
Thrilled to be in the middle of it was Martin, who was born in Ontario and raised in Quebec, and is the starting catcher for the defending American League East champion Blue Jays.
