Our old friend here in Toronto, Pal Hal Ballard, took the notion that professional sport is a business and is not about winning to new heights (or depths, depending on how you see it).  Amazingly enough, what became known as Leaf Nation continued to occupy the seats at Maple Leaf Gardens. It's clear from the Blue Jays history, on the other hand, if you build a winning team, they will come. If you field a losing team, not so much.....This simple equation seems to be lost on the tall foreheads at Rogers.
