As a proud supporter of the Toronto Blue Jays for more than 30 years, Honda Canada hosted Friday night's Honda Home Opener at Rogers Centre and kicked-off the 2014 baseball season by giving away a record number of prizes. Luck ran high for excited Blue Jays fans, eight of whom now eagerly await a warm spring day when they can fire up their new Honda lawnmower, while a ninth excited fan received the keys to a Canadian-built, 2014 Honda CR-V Touring edition.
Nine fans were randomly selected during the fourth inning to participate in a contest for the Honda CR-V and appeared on the Rogers Centre video board, while a sold-out crowd cheered them on. With the help of Toronto Blue Jays mascot, Ace, Norman Black of Sarnia, Ontario left Rogers Centre as the proud owner of a sparkling Aspen White Pearl 2014 Honda CR-V. The remaining eight lucky contestants each received a Honda HRR2169PKC lawnmower.

"What an exciting way to start the new season and congratulations to all nine winners of fantastic Honda products."
