how to kill a crowd 101 have a 20 min intro

Announcing the home team starting line-up doesn't kill a crowd.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Springer didn't get hurt during the introduction. This is already a win

 

[stickty111]

Who says Toronto doesn't know baseball. Chapman got a huge cheer.
Nive to see Ryu get a nice ovation.

 

[as Pure as Evil]

holy frack chapman's a jay. couldn't be happier

 

[The Nemesis]

Did they practice or dry run any of this? The production seems a little janky and out of sorts.

 

[jetsforever]

Didn't realise those intros would take so long

depending on how many cheered constantly for the last 25 minutes

 

[Griffin76]

Holy shit I'm so pumped. I can't believe it really. I'm like a little kid sitting here bouncing in my seat.

They did, started around noon, but only got halfway through, the gates were opening and they had to start batting practice

 

[The Nemesis]

Can't believe it's baseball time already

Well... not yet. But eventually. Maybe.

I have hockey tickets for tonight with puck drop in like 3 hours. I figured I'd have plenty of time to get through the Jays game before I had to leave. Now it seems less likely.

Opening day always takes a while.

They practiced the flag part this afternoon.

 

[EpochLink]

This some long ass intro my god

 

[MS]

This is actually the most bloated overlong ceremony I've ever seen in any sport.

 

[LeafsOHLRangers98]

Just let the crowd sing it

 

[Forgotusername]

I hope those 2 never sing another anthem again.

 

[Dr.Funk]

This crowd is dead

 

[Morgs]

I almost clicked "extremely excited". What a schmuck I would have been.

Lets goooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[Dr.Funk]

For those of you whining about ceremonies, have you never watched a home opener before? Or do you just think it's "cool" to whine on the Internet?

Just wait until next year when we have a banner to raise, an MVP award to hand out, a platinum glove award

 

[Killer Orcas]

Waited a long time for this go Jays make Canada proud !!

 

[Morgs]

Really milking that movie line I see.

 

[Morgs]

The only way today would be better is if Buck wasn't talking

 

[43Kadri43]

was looking forward to the game but 5 minutes into the opening telecast they trot out an Indian to denounce white people. Then 5 minutes later they ramble about racism from the ancient past to denounce white people. When do all these attacks against white people stop? Beause I can't enjoy sports anymore, Leafs included ever since Dubas proudly declared he would start replacing white people in his front office and wasn't fired on the spot.

Simple solution: stop watching.

I’m pretty sure they won’t miss you.

A pre game video. Just when I thought baseball was going to get in the way of the show
