The start of the baseball season is still a few months away, but Blue Jays fans can get their fix, starting Monday, with the kick off of Blue Jays Virtual Winter Week.
The online festival features meet and greets with current players and alumni, fan giveaways and community initiatives.
Because of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Blue Jays and staff weren’t able to travel across Canada, like they do every year for WinterFest, so they have decided to take the experience online – starting Feb. 1 and going until Feb. 6.
The festivities this year will include:
- Virtual autograph sessions with current players and alumni, including Cavan Biggio, Danny Jansen, Nate Pearson, J.P. Arencibia, Pat Borders, Shawn Green, Shannon Stewart, Dave Stieb, and Devon White. Fans can get their tickets to virtual autograph sessions on a first-come, first-served basis, at bluejays.com/virtualwinterweek.
- Fan giveaways and interactive games on @BlueJays social and by downloading the MLB Ballpark App.
- A virtual Q&A with Blue Jays President Mark Shapiro, General Manager Ross Atkins, and Manager Charlie Montoyo. Submit your questions through @bluejays on social media.
- Virtual school visits – schools across Canada are encouraged to enter at bluejays.com/virtualwinterweek for a chance to win an online drop-in with a current Blue Jays player.
And to prepare for the start, former Blue Jays player Shawn Green spoke with our Geoff Rohoman about what this week means to him, his time with the Jays and how he thinks this team will do this season. Take a look at that conversation above!
