The link between the Toronto Blue Jays and the World Baseball Challenge is now stronger than ever.
On Tuesday, organizers of the 2011 WBC announced that the Blue Jays have become a major presenting sponsor. The international tournament will be held July 8-19 at Prince George Citizen Field.
"We can't say enough about the encouragement and assistance we have received from the Blue Jays -- what a class organization, one that is heading back to the top of the baseball world once again," said WBC co-chair Jim Swanson.
The Blue Jays also threw their support behind the tournament when it made its Prince George debut in 2009. But now, said Swanson, they have "increased their involvement dramatically." In recognition of that fact, the WBC will soon unveil a new logo that displays the Jays brand prominently.
