Seattle baseball buff takes hilarious aim at invading Blue Jays fans

A Seattle baseball fan has become a social media sensation after creatinga series of hilarious signs meant to mock the thousands of Canadians who showed up atSafeco Field to cheer for the Toronto Blue Jays.

Dan Carroll said as a life-long Marinersfanhe felt obligedto push back after being overrun by rabid Jaysfansfrom north of the border.

"The Mariners are a pretty big deal to me," said the 30-year-old."To say the least, it's annoying to hear, 'let's go Blue Jays' in my house."

Estimatesare Blue Jays fans have outnumbered Mariners fans two-to-one during thecritical three game series in Seattle. Border crossings between the Lower Mainland and Washington State reported long waits due to the huge volume of Canadians heading south to the games.

Carrollshowed no mercy with his felt pens,takingaim at the metric system, the maple leaf and most gallingly the inability of any Canadian NHL team to win the Stanley Cup in over two decades.

"I focusedon the Stanley Cup sign because I figured I should know my audience andpunch to the gut," he said.

He even sought out a bilingualfriend to help create a sign in Canada's other official language. Translated it reads 'This is the sign that we madeto mock you in French.'

Carroll was a little miffed to discover not many Canadians in attendancecould understandwhat it said.

"I guess French is not as big in Western Canada as it is in Eastern Canada," he concluded.

On Twitter, the posts of hishandiwork have been seen andretweetedthousands of times. Carroll calls the attention he's received"very surreal."

The Blue Jays won the first two games of the series, improving their chances of making the playoffs and potentially ruining Seattle's.
