Sign Joey Bats Or He'll Reduce The Statue By A Tenth, Apparently
-
So, there's a statue of the late Ted Rogers of Rogers Communications and owning-the-Toronto Blue Jays fame outside the Jays' park, Rogers Centre. And the Jays are, of course, facing having to pony up huge bucks to sign Jose Bautista or watch him walk after the season. A frustrated fan tweeted that he'd throw the Ted Rogers statue into the harbor or "decimate" it (I do not believe that word means what you think it means, sir). ANd that got him a visit from the police, who take "threats" like this very seriously. Very, very seriously. It took them 19 days, so maybe "seriously" is not quite the word, come to think of it. The guy admits that his tweet was stupid, but it's also hard to read it and think that it was meant to be taken seriously. (Toronto Star)
