The Toronto Blue Jays have a nice moment for new special assistant coach Kevin Kiermaier today as part of the ceremony for Opening Day.
The Blue Jays had their first game of the season against the Baltimore Orioles today as they kicked off the 2025 season at the Rogers Centre for the first time in a few years.

Kevin Kiermaier did not spend much time in Toronto over his long career but fell in love with the city and they fell in love with him as well which is why he decided to return as a special assistant this season.
For the ceremony on Opening Day this afternoon, the Blue Jays had a few special moments lined up including have Kiermaier throw out the ceremonial first pitch in front of a full Rogers Centre.

It was a great moment for Kiermaier and the entire fan base to see him out there one final time but he looks like he will have quite the career as a coach in the future.
This was clearly a great move by the Blue Jays as fans went crazy when Kiermaier stepped onto the field and hopefully this is the start of a great season for the Blue Jays.
