Former Toronto Blue Jays centerfielder Kevin Pillar is back in Toronto for his Blue Jays Central gig, and he has some free time on his hands.
Blue Jays Central host Jamie Campbell announced earlier this week that Pillar would be joining him in Toronto as an analyst for the Dodgers series against the Blue Jays.
The game doesn't start till 10:00 PM ET, so now that Pillar is back in Toronto already he has some time on his hands before the broadcast.
Earlier today he reached out on social media to ask Blue Jays fans what's new, and what to do in the city.
En route to Toronto. Got some free time since the Jays are on the west coast. Anything new since I've been gone? Can't wait to talk #BlueJays and #Dodgers tonight on @Sportsnet with my pal @SNETCampbell.
Restaurant idea? Anything that has popped up over the last couple of years?
Besides getting a ton of responses for restaurant suggestions, the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame recommended he take the drive down to St Mary's Ontario for a visit as it's only a two hour drive west of Rogers Centre.
You should swing by the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in
@townofstmarys. We are a 2hr drive west of the Rogers Centre, but it's worth the drive!

A brief history on Kevin Pillar's tenure with the Toronto Blue Jays
Pillar started his Major League career in Toronto, with the former 32nd-round pick from the 2011 MLB Draft signing with the Blue Jays shortly after.
His bonus was $1,000 and essentially a plane ticket out to Bluefield to play Rookie League ball. Fast forward two years later, he was stepping into the batter's box at the Rogers Centre.
Nicknamed 'Superman', Pillar made numerous highlight-reel grabs in the outfield during his seven seasons with the Jays and finished with a .260/.297/.396 slash line with 55 home runs, 231 RBIs, and a .692 OPS through 695 games.
He was also part of the club's 2015 and 2016 postseason runs and famously can be seen charging at Rougned Odor during the 2016 scuffle between the former Rangers infielder and Jays slugger Jose Bautista.
