The Blue Jays are still barred from playing in Canada, but as they decamp from Florida, their fans — in plastic cutout form — will make the trip to Buffalo.
The celebrity section, in the 100-level in Dunedin, includes Ash and the actors Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Oh; Paul Sun-Hyung Lee and Jean Yoon of the CBC network show “Kim’s Convenience”; and the cast of the Canadian sitcom “Schitt’s Creek,” including Dan Levy, Eugene Levy, Catherine O’Hara, Sarah Levy, Annie Murphy, Emily Hampshire and Noah Reid.
A Toronto native and longtime fan, Reid called the Blue Jays a “major distraction” on the “Schitt’s Creek” set in Goodwood, Ontario, a 45-minute drive from Toronto. Eugene Levy regularly streamed playoff games between takes during the team’s 2015 playoff run, and assistant directors, writers and the wardrobe department followed the team closely.
Reid admitted it was bittersweet to see his cutout.
“I would love to be sitting in those seats,” he said. “I couldn’t help but be a little bit jealous of my cardboard self.”
Reid says he will find a way to Buffalo if the Blue Jays play in the World Series there.
“I’m holding an American passport,” he said, “so I’ll be lining up at the border to cross the Peace Bridge.”
