Guy sat in the row in front of us at last night’s Toronto-Baltimore game at the SkyDome, with some seriously baseball-y shirt cuffs. Kinda thought he was a bit of a douche, then a wee bit later, he turned around and asked the people next to us if they’d take a photo of him. He smiled with the field in the background of the photo, and it was clear that he was there on his own, which made the scene a little bit melancholy.
