Blue Jays' Bus Bonanza: Grit Over Flight Delays

It's April 21st. Toronto Blue Jays News today starts now. AI-powered and game-ready. I'm

Cory with the story. The Toronto Blue Jays had a major league mix-up on their way from

Phoenix to Anaheim this weekend. Instead of flying, the whole squad loaded up on three

buses for a five-hour haul down Interstate 10 after their plane's joystick failed right before.

Takeoff around 4pm. Faced with waiting hours for a backup flight from Vancouver or hitting

the road, manager John Schneider put it to a team vote. It passed by about 30 votes, with most

players wanting to roll out right away, even though it meant a long grind across the desert.

Not everyone was on board. Veteran Mac sure's or hit Schneider with a kangaroo court summons

over the call, but the bus ride turned into real team. Bonding time, cramped seats, and all.

They made one smart exception. Flying starting pitcher Dylan sees commercial so he could rest

up for a start amid the rotation's injury woes. He landed around 9.30 or 10 while the buses

were still cruising. Everyone else made it safe. Turning lemons into lemonade with some laughs and

shut eye along the way. Proving grit keeps the team tight no matter the travel drama.
