G20 Summit Sends Toronto-Phillies Series To Philadelphia
Due to the G20 Summit, Major League Baseball has announced that due to security concerns the June 25-27 three-game series with the Philadelphia Phillies has been moved to Philadelphia. Toronto fans with therefore miss the chance to see Roy Halladay pitch this year. Without the move, the Blue Jays-Phillies games would take place at Rogers Centre located in the midst of the security zone around the adjacent Metro Toronto Convention Centre where the summit is being held.
If either the Toronto Blue Jays or Philadelphia Phillies get into a tight race for the playoffs in their respective divisions this move could have dramatic effect. No matter that the Blue Jays will be batting last and the Designated Hitter being used, the Phillies get 84 home games this season and the Jays get 78.
I hope the Mets are happy with this.
