Orioles broadcaster insults intelligence of Blue Jays fans during latest win

Baseball: America's favorite pastime. A pastime that has been celebrated for over 100 years and shared with its North American neighbor, Canada. Since 1977, Toronto has embraced its Blue Jays as part of its sporting culture, alongside the NHL's Maple Leafs and eventually the NBA's Raptors. For nearly 50 years, fans in Canada have become one with baseball tradition and its quirks.

One of those traditions across baseball is to boo when the opposing pitcher tries to pick off the home baserunner at first. Why? Well, how dare the pitcher try to get the home guy out? That's their baserunner who's trying to score, leave them alone.
