   Last night the Yankees came to Toronto for the first time since the
booing of the Canadian anthem in Yankee stadium.  Many people I know were
rather displeased when hearing what happened in NY, but a lot just considered
the source, and let it go.  So, anyway, when the American anthem started
playing everyone was very quite, and them a small number of boos and hisses
were heard.  When this 'retaliatory' booing started, a lot of fans told the
people booing to shut up and to show some class.  Then most fans started
singing the American anthem (the words are shown on the scoreboard).  This
singing was in fact louder than the Canadian anthem is usually sung.  Then
everybody cheered when it was done.  Normally everybody just stands and waits
for it to finish.  Of course everybody then sang the Canadian anthem even
louder than they sang the American anthem.  
   The bad news for Blue Jay fans/Yankee haters is that Wynegar tied the game
with a solo home run with two outs in the ninth.  This clutch hit allowed
the Yankees to stay alive in the pennant race.  They went ahead by 1 run on
a dropped fly ball that should have ended the Yankees ninth.  The Jays just 
have to win today or tomorrow now to clinch it, unfortunately I just had
tickets for Friday's game.
