No, the building was not 100% full of Blue Jays fans.
“I’d rather see Matt win a World Series ring, he trumps the Blue Jays for me,” said Randy Casford, Matt Brash’s former coach with the Kingston Thunder.
Casford was in section 115 along with his two sons -- Cole and Kyle, former Brash teammates -- plus Jamie and Sandra Brash, proud parents of the Mariners’ outstanding reliever.”
