Marcus Stroman shared an awesome moment with a young fan in return to Toronto
When it comes to engaging with fans, few — if any — baseball players do it better than Marcus Stroman. He simply understands how impactful a personal connection can be for fans at the ballpark.
We saw that philosophy in action on Monday night.
Stroman — who is now with the Chicago Cubs — spent six seasons with the Blue Jays including his All-Star campaign in 2019. This week’s series was his first trip back to Toronto since the 2019 trade to the Mets, and he waited no time to make a young fan’s night.
The Cubs pitcher spotted a fan seated behind home plate in a Stroman Blue Jays jersey, and he immediately went up to the young kid to have a conversation and sign an autograph for him.
Reactions don’t get much better than that.
Fans also loved this moment from Stroman, who is scheduled to start on Tuesday.
