When Ted Rogers bought the Jay's in 2000, Rogers were in a fierce ownership battle with.....well no one.  Interbrew desperately wanted out (losing tons) and no one else in the richest city in Canada was interested.  Lots of talk of relocation, weak Canadian dollar, a lot of Roger Executives tried to discourage good ole Ted from dropping the 180 million for the team.  But as usual, Ted saw the future better than anyone.  

Point is, if having an MLB baseball team in Toronto means anything to you (and sorry that's a yes if you spend your days commenting/obsessing over them) than you should recognize how Ted Rogers stepped up when no one else would.
