21 photos from the Toronto Blue Jays exhibition games in Montreal

The Toronto Blue Jays faced off against the Pittsburgh Pirates in two exhibition games at Olympic Stadium this past weekend.

The first of two games, played on Friday night, resulted in a 1-1 tie, while the Blue Jays won the second game 6-4 that took place Saturday afternoon.

No matter the scores, it was clear that Montrealers were happy to welcome professional baseball back into their lives.

The stadium was packed with over 40,000 people for each game, many of whom donned Jays (not to mention Expos) paraphernalia.

Montreal-native and Toronto Blue Jays catcher Russell Martin received a particularly warm welcome from the crowds.

The Toronto Blue Jays regular season kicks off April 3rd in Baltimore.
