Friends: I thought it was important to let you know I’m being treated for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Still, I intend to be there opening day, sitting beside @SiddallJoe hosting #BlueJays Central. Hope you’ll join us then.

This was July 2. Ryan Driscoll’s last request was to attend one more game. That night, the #BlueJays beat the Yankees, took first place, and never looked back. He died eleven days later. I choose to believe Ryan had something to do with this. Nice work kid! ❤️

If you follow me, it’s probably because you love the Blue Jays. Regardless of the result, here’s hoping you cherished the journey; the road taken can be just as important as the destination.

Treatment of “pre-skin cancer” prevents me from being part of the @Sportsnet World Series broadcast, for now. This is not fun, so please cover up, find shade, and use sunscreen. Thanks to @SNBradFay for taking over.

Your support has completely overwhelmed me. I wish I could thank every one of you individually. Jumping a plane to Alberta tomorrow. Taking my son to see the @NHLFlames and @EdmontonOilers because our best moments are usually standing right next to us.

Subtle reminder to those hoping they throw at Pham. Usually best to save that kind of thing for a star player.

Thread: 1. It's a scary time, but older people may feel particularly isolated and alone. If your parents/grandparents are #BlueJays fans and you think their spirits would be raised by a phone call, send me a direct message with their name, number, and best time to call.

My son has Aspergers. He's a kind, beautiful soul who wants to help save the planet too. Go get 'em Greta. Don't lose sleep over morons.
When haters go after your looks and differences, it means they have nowhere left to go. And then you know you’re winning!
I have Aspergers and that means I’m sometimes a bit different from the norm. And - given the right circumstances- being different is a superpower.

This smile is deceiving. When the picture was taken, I was in a dark place. Wholly depressed. Never said a word to anyone, because I figured it was my fault. Don’t be like me. It’s not your fault. Please talk to somebody.

Kid below us fell and skinned his knee. So Kevin Barker gets a ball from bullpen and delivers it personally.

I should point out that I have always had great respect for Mr. Kay. That’s a tough market, and he’s endured. We haven’t been able to say “first place” around here for a while. Just having a little fun!

Last night, you saw the Blue Jays win a ball game. What you didn’t see is Mark Shapiro and the organization mobilizing to fulfill a wish. I am forever grateful. Additional thanks to Guerrero Jr., Barger, Hoffman, and Dante Bichette for taking time away from their families. ❤️

My marriage ended three years ago, and we've had our differences. But we are in lockstep right now with respect to our well-being and that of our children. For those of you in a similar situation, I hope you find compassionate and common ground.

The #BlueJays were bound to face difficult roster decisions. Loperfido is the first of those. John Schneider calls it an “undeserved” demotion.

There would be a child at nearby @sickkids that would love to go …
Also I have 2 tickets to give away to tonight’s game but we’re trying to figure out how to do it. So I’m looking for a blue jays fan who is in Toronto who is free tonight to go to a World Series game. Anybody know of anyone?

Dylan Gervais, shining star of the U18 Orillia (Ontario) Royals, died yesterday. We were brought together by leukemia, but bonded through baseball. Three weeks ago, we gathered at his Penetanguishene home and laughed. Hugs to Mike, Amanda, and little brother Mason.
