Raptors coach Dwane Casey applauds his players’ support of Blue Jays
Toronto Raptors all-star Kyle Lowry watched from the front row, in his Marcus Stroman jersey, as the Blue Jays roared past Texas on Sunday and into the American League Championship Series.
The Raptors are no casual fans of their Toronto baseball “brothers,” and coach Dwane Casey applauds his players’ support of the Jays’ thrilling playoff run.
“Winning is contagious and I said this the other night at our team dinner,” Casey said. “It’s great for us to experience the Blue Jays winning, for the guys to go to the games and feel the passion that the fans have, and winning. There’s a pride in that.
“I feel it for the Blue Jays. The players feel it and hopefully (the Jays) felt it for us. Anything we can do to be a part of that, to go see it, to watch it, to have something to pull for, it’s great for us, it’s great for the city.”
