MONTREAL — The Toronto Blue Jays are hoping for another home run in Montreal.
The Blue Jays will face the Cincinnati Reds in a pair of pre-season games April 3-4 at Olympic Stadium.
A two-game series against the New York Mets last April drew more than 96,000 fans to the Big O.
Organizers announced Tuesday that former Blue Jays star Roberto Alomar, manager Cito Gaston and former Reds and Montreal Expos slugger Tony Perez will be honoured at the games next spring.
Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre hopes another large turnout will show the baseball world the city is ready to have a major-league team again.
