Sorry, Montreal, but Vancouver needs a Major League Baseball team more GlobeDebate
The answer to the question about whether Major League Baseball should return to Montreal is an obvious one: Of course it should. But that’s not the best question.
The Canadians are the A-level affiliates of the Toronto Blue Jays, so there’s already a symbiosis. And the fact that tens of thousands of Jays fans in Vancouver regularly hop the border to attend games in Seattle supports the hold that baseball has on the city. It’s even more exceptional when you consider the general antipathy that people on the West Coast have to sporting entities from the East.
Plus, in Vancouver, you can play almost every day from April to October. Sitting outside in the game’s natural setting would be the rule rather than the exception.While the Canucks and the CFL’s Lions have both been successful and stable franchises, it’s Major League Soccer’s Whitecaps that best support Vancouver’s argument for an MLB team.
