Mississauga native Dalton Pompey hit leadoff for Canada and played centre field, crossing the field to saddle up against his current team, the Jays. It was just kind of weird being on the other side and playing the Blue Jays. “I’m just going out there and trying to show teams, and my team that I play for, what I can do. Canada has forever managed to overcome a talent gap by playing as a tight team. To learn from a player like him who’s had so much success, it’s incredible.” The toughest puzzle for Team Canada manager Ernie Whitt to solve before the games start to mean something is not the position players.
