First Toronto Blue Jays broadcast of 2011 - Sunday, March 6th

Two weeks and two days from today - at 1:05 PM - Rogers Sportsnet is scheduled to broadcast a spring training game from McKechnie Field, as the Toronto Blue Jays take on Pittsburgh at the Pirates' spring training facility in Bradenton, Florida.

Here's a calendar from MLB Toronto Blue Jays site. I've circled the date of first televised baseball game of the year.

Toronto's first spring training game for 2011 is on Saturday, February 26th at 1:05 PM and will be broadcast on The Fan590 here in Toronto with Jerry Howarth and Alan Ashby back in the radio chairs - check your local listings.
