Where do major league baseball teams stay in Toronto?  Is the hotel in the Rogers Centre too obvious?

Different teams stay at different locations.  None that I know of stay at the Rogers Centre

Red Sox are a good bet, but don't rule out the White Sox either.  They could move Scott Podsednik to center field and put Lee back in left field, plus they have been known to open their wallets when they see a need.  Can you inmagine a middle lineup of Thome, Konerko, Dye and Lee?

Charlotte seems the logical choice there.  Jersey's too close to the Yanks and Mets, they won't be able to make a fan base there.  Same with Norfolk and the Nationals and Orioles.\n\nThe other's just arent viable places, in my opinion.

Doug, any hotel in the downtown Seattle area will leave you with no more than a nice walk to Safeco (if it's not raining!).  I advise avoiding anything else unless you want to drive or use public transportation.  Among closer hotels, I know the Alexis is an excellent place.  Here's a link from Seattle's Convention and Visitors Bureau that will help you choose a hotel.  I hope you will find helpful.\n\nAs a fellow Mariners fan who lives far away from them too, and has seen a few games at Safeco, I only hope you will have as good a time as my wife and I did.  It is an extraordinary ballpark in an amazing city.  Go M's!

If you have the chance, take the public transportation (lightrail, cable car, etc). It was very efficient for me when I went. There is a lightrail stop that basically drops you off at the home plate entrance.

Either the Millenium Biltmore or the Sheraton. Both are just a few blocks away and it depends on what team is staying.

Yes!  Barry Melrose, the analyst/commentator, was pretty bias.  But it seems he roots for the underdogs.  I've seen him on Sports Center many times ripping on the Wings, Avs, Ducks, any team that's not Canadian...  I think he also has some connection to Boston.  I'm not 100% sure, but I think one of his sons' played hockey there.  I looked at his bio on ESPN.com, but couldn't find anything.

The bluejays are a great hitting and slugging team.  Vernon Wells is hot and Troy Glaus is great protection for him.  Also they are 30-20 tied for first and 1.5 up on Toronto.

well, you would want to get tix in sec 129-140 on the first base side or 104-116 on the third base side unless you have the money to get the box seats on the field or the bullpen seats but they are way expensive..if you don't get a foul ball you can buy a cubs ball at many of the vendors or in the park, and go out on clark almost to Waveland just pass the Mc Donalds where the players park and there is a fence there they sometimes come there to sign depending on the weather. I also have a friend that works for security at Wrigley...

They don't.\n\nMost of the tickets to any of MLB's big events (All-Star Game, World Series, League Championship Series) go to MLB VIP's, major rightsholders and a share to each team. Pretty much all the remaining seats go to season ticket holders from the home team (Pittsburgh for this season).\n\nSorry, but if you aren't a season ticket holder, you're probably going to have to go through a ticket broker or win them from some contest.

Toronto is a huge city and there are many spots that could hold stags.  If you know anybody that lives there have them investigate possible settings with liquor licenses already, saving you both the cost and time.  Also seeing how it is a stag and most spots are non smoking you'll probably want somewhere were the laws are a little more relaxed and perhaps they have a special area set up for smokers so they don't need to go out and freeze while lighting up.  A great idea, but costly, would be to rent a room at the Air Canada Centre while the Leafs are playing and that way the guys could play cards, drink, party and watch a good game all at the same time. Good luck.

are you going to be visiting toronto?\nthere are tons of sports bars...in fact, pretty much any bar will have a game on, just ask the bar tender to change to the game you want to watch, they will usually do it.\ngretzky's on blue jay way probably...but they are expensive and over rated.\ngo to www.toronto.com to find some featured bars and other TO info.

The Yankees always reload.  As always, they will be in contention throughout the season.  However, they will face some heavy competition from Boston and Toronto.  Yes Toronto.  The Blue Jays have ponied up and signed some key free agents.\n\nThe Yankees always have plenty of offense with a rotisserie type lineup of bats.  Their biggest weakness has been starting pitching.  The Yankees used 14 different starting pitchers last year\n\nRandy Johnson is another year older.  Which Mike Mussina is going to show up?  The one from the first half or second half of last year.  Shawn Chacon does not have much of a track record.  Wang is young and unproven.  Carl Pavano had problems last year adjusting to the American League and shoulder problems.\n\nMy final prediction is that they take the division.  With the AL Wild Card coming from the AL East.

British Columbia attempted to attract a Major League team to the area in the 1980s, but their campaign was unsuccessful at the time. \n\nExpansion to B.C. is seen as a longshot for two reasons - one, because of the relative proximity of nearby Seattle (just 138 miles away), and perhaps more importantly, two, because the metropolitan area of Vancouver only has about 2 million residents, which isn't considered large enough, by Major League Baseball standards, to support a home team.\n\n(Two million residents sounds like an awful lot of people, but consider that the New York Yankees home attendance in 2005 was 4,090,696 - equivalent to the entire population of the metropolitan area of Vancouver attending 2 baseball games each and every year.)\n\nBy the way, in response to another respondent's suggestion - baseball is unlikely to seriously consider expansion to Japan any time soon - and anyone who has ever travelled on a flight between the United States and Japan can surely understand why. (And for those who haven't - non-stop travel times from New York City are 14 hours and 24 minutes to Osaka and 13 hours and 48 minutes to Tokyo.)

I dont recommend you take anyone to a yankee game, they are horrible.  They are known for choking, an example is in 2004 when they were up 3 games to none in the ALCS and lost 4-3, what a pathetic team!!!

Their big problem is is that so far this season, they have not played well against the Big Boys in the AL (Chicago, Boston, New York).  They're 1-5 against the White Sox, 1-2 vs. the Red Sux, and 1-3 vs. the Yankees, which is 40% of their losses.  Since they lost the last series to the White Sox in Chicago, they've teed off on Toronto, Tampa, the Cubs, Milwaukee, St. Louis, and Houston, and go to Pittsburgh before interleague play ends.\n\nThey still have 13 games left with Chicago, 3 each with Boston and New York, and 10 with resurgent Minnesota.  Those are going to be crucial games to see whether the Tigers can hold off the White Sox.
