As I always say, I'll be perfectly happy to use the corporate name for a stadium as soon as I get paid by them to do it.

Every time you post something about Tokyo Stadium, I immediately think “But that ballpark’s been gone for 50 years!” The baseball stadium by that name was the home of the Daimai/Tokyo/Lotte Orions from 1962 to 1971.

Does MLB not know what country Toronto is in? 2/2

NPB Card Guy @npbcardguy.bsky.social · 3d
Toronto will potentially host either Games 1,2,6&7 of the Series if they play LA and Games 3-5 if they play Milwaukee. I bring this up because I checked the MLB app today to see when the Series starts and saw that it gave the location of all the games as “TBD, United States, USA”. 1/2
