This summer, fans at Christie Pits will notice new space-age metal seating. |
The winds of change continue to whip through the Toronto Maple Leafs baseball club.
Last season was the first without longtime owner Jack Dominico at the helm. A group of four individuals was tasked with shepherding the organization into the post-Jack era. For the second year in a row, the Leafs made it to the IBL Championship Series, but the Dominico Cup eluded their grasp.
More changes are coming this summer. With the offseason departures of Damon Topolie, Roger Lajoie and Ryan Eakin, the front office has been almost completely vacated. New faces will fill those roles.
There are expected to be new faces in Leaf uniforms once the 2023 season begins. This is always the case, as is the organization's tendency to play its cards close to the chest when it comes to roster announcements.
Fans will also see something new at Christie Pits this summer. Some structural changes were spotted by a longtime fan who swung by the Pits in December, and who remarked:
"New. Bleachers. Yup. New metal bleachers, by the way, which means during the summer Sunday afternoons, we get to fry our asses, like the bacon that accompanies my eggs for dinner during Wednesday night games."
Permission to start dreaming!
Fans can plan their visits to the Pits on Sundays starting on May 14th. The Leafs will play 21 regular season home games, including six Wednesday Nighters.
