Join the gratitude circle, inspired by Kazuma Okamoto's pre game ritual.

Before (and during) the game, drop something you’re grateful for, baseball-related or not.

Reminder of the ground rules:

* Keep it positive. This is a no-negativity zone.

* No player bashing, doom-posting, or hot takes here.

* Respect everyone’s contributions (even if it’s simple).

* One gratitude per comment (you can post more, just keep it clean).

I'll start: Its the Jays Pride Night today. I'm grateful that this beautiful city supports and grows an awesome mix of queer community. It hasn't been a great time for many queer folk over the last couple of years but having the resilient community spaces that we do have in Toronto is something I have always appreciated in the midst of everything happening out there.

Hi all, I've missed this over the past few days. Thought I'd step in for the original folks this time.

I'll start. Today, I'm grateful for all of the friends in my life who've been able to get me through tough times, inspire me, and make nice times even better. I feel truly lucky for their kindness and the space created for me in their lives.
