Blue Jays get standing ovation, 'Let's go, Blue Jays!' chant at Maple Leafs' opener
The night before the Toronto Blue Jays' first playoff game in 22 years, members of the American League East-winning squad took in the Toronto Maple Leafs' season opener - and got the loudest ovation of the night.
Divison Series Game 2 starter Marcus Stroman, in particular, was enjoying himself.

After the standing ovation, a "Let's go, Blue Jays!" chant broke out, and for the first time in more than two decades, it wasn't ironic.
What a time to be alive.
