Sports Fact of the Day 4/29/2007

4/29/2003:
As Toronto struggles to combat the medical crisis (and financial fallout) of the contagion known as severe acute respirator syndrome (SARS), over 48,000 fans pack the SkyDome for only $1 per ticket to see the Blue Jays host Texas. The visiting Rangers smash six home runs, including two each by Carl Everett and Juan Gonzalez, to win a wild slugfest, 16-11. Trailing 12-4, the Blue Jays rally back to 13-11 before being halted, but Torontonians are loud and proud in their message to the world: "We are still open for business!"
