About Me
- QJays
- I just wanted a site about baseball without any celebrity personalities or soapboxes. After a game, I usually want to talk about it. Usually when it's a loss, I don't want to read about it, or watch highlights, but sometimes I just want to express myself. I figured that if I kicked things off by firing off a game-related question -- just whatever comes to mind -- this site could be a place to do that. I usually post a question after each game, or the next morning. Usually it's about the game, and when the Jays don't play, it's about some other game or baseball related event. This site is just my thoughts or reflections in a brief question form. You can say what you want about them in the comments. Email at qjays@live.com

A: because of my dad.
My pops is an immigrant, and he took us to games all the time as kids, but he never took a liking to the game, or the team. But that didn't matter. That didn't stop him from taking us to numerous games a year. Thanks, pops.
My dad played as a kid and into his late teens, and was always good for watching a game when I was a kid. I started watching with him during the 1985 Jays run that ended with Saberhagen and the Royals. For the next few years, I would bug him with endless questions while watching games. A few years and numerous books and baseball cards later, I would bug him with endless information while watching games. It was a long time before I learned the lesson that some of the Jays announcers still need to learn -- sometimes you just need to shut up and watch the game.
Anyway, thanks dad - those were good times. Glad we got to see the Jays win their first World Series in my final October at home.
A: Because of my Dad, but even more so because of my two sons who were baseball freaks.
