Ask J.P. Arencibia!

Dear J.P. Arencibia,
I’m really excited about the season. Even Maple Leafs fans are looking forward to it! And I don’t care what Cito Gaston says, you guys have won 22 out of 27 games, so spring training definitely matters. I mean, that’s better than .800 baseball! Toronto’s ready for a winner, and I know you and your Blue Jays teammates will deliver.
Anyway, I recently got my hands on a pair of tickets to the home opener at the Rogers Centre on April 9. The Massholes are in town, so it should be a lot of fun, and I’m really looking forward to it. However, I haven’t been to the home opener in years, and I’ve heard that it can be a bit of a rowdy affair at the Dome. Everyone gets wasted, there are fights, magnets and/or towels end up on the field, followed by streakers, you name it. Do you have any advice on how I can best enjoy the return of baseball to our fine city for another summer?
Cheers,
Born-Again Blue Jays Fan
Please realize that Opening Day at Rogers Centre is sold out so do not wear white shirts as it would be hard for us to spot #TheManInWhite

H/T: The peerless Jeremy Blachman for the inspiration. If you haven’t read the entire Ask NotGraphs! series, you haven’t made the correct life choices. There’s still time for you, though. I’ll never stop believing in your potential.

I was at a game shortly after TMIW story broke. The outfield seat were full of fans in white shirts. Poor Jose, he didn’t know where to look.
