Blue Jays' Kevin Gausman gives Maple Leafs guided tour of Rogers Centre ahead of game vs Twins

Veteran Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Kevin Gausman recently welcomed members of the Toronto Maple Leafs for a behind-the-scenes tour of Rogers Centre ahead of their matchup against the Minnesota Twins on Friday.

Several Maple Leafs players took advantage of their day off by visiting the stadium prior to the Blue Jays opening a three-game series against Minnesota.

The visit offered the hockey players a glimpse into the day-to-day experience of their baseball counterparts.

Footage shared by Lindsay Dunn of the 6ix Inning Stretch Podcast shows Gausman guiding the group through Rogers Centre and giving them an inside look at the facility.

Among those present for the tour were William Nylander, Easton Cowan, Max Domi, Steven Lorentz, Michael Pezzetta, Jake McCabe, Chris Tanev, and Philippe Myers.

In another clip, Nylander and Pezzetta can be seen tossing a ball around with Blue Jays outfielder Myles Straw on the field.

This isn’t the first recent crossover between the two Toronto teams. About a month ago, several Blue Jays players attended the Maple Leafs’ 4-3 victory over the New York Rangers on March 25.

That night, George Springer and Ernie Clement drew attention when Sportsnet cameras captured them sitting in incorrect seats before arena staff relocated them.

Later during the game, the Maple Leafs’ in-arena presentation featured the Blue Jays players on the Jumbotron while they watched from a suite.

Joining Springer and Clement were Straw, David Schneider, Kazuma Okamoto, Dylan Cease, and Louis Varland.

The Blue Jays have had a relatively slow start to the season following their World Series appearance last fall.

However, after a convincing 10-4 win over the Twins on Friday, Toronto now sits at 6-7, tied for second place in the American League East alongside the Baltimore Orioles and Tampa Bay Rays.
