[@288theabe]

Well, if I ever wanted to waste 2:39 of my time again, I know where to go.

[@captainr-bg1hf]

?

[@garrisonthordarson4923]

Mystery unsolved. Another great example of investigative journalism.

[@EVAUnit4A]

What part of 'She wants to remain anonymous' don't you get?

[@shadowbanned4days]

Lol.liars

[@resipsaloquitur1857]

​@@EVAUnit4A...but the title to this video is misleading/clickbait as the name/identity of the lady is not revealed.

[@ryanlassiter4858]

How is the mystery "solved" if we still don't know who she is??

[@maxboi1036]

Ryan Lassiter we still don’t know

[@shiboof]

you do not need to know, dearie. let it go.

[@ManCaveStudios1]

Biggest Blue Jays fan of all time has to be Geddy Lee. He sits right behind home plate almost every game, he's sang the national anthem, he's thrown out the first pitch a number of times, he even records the score. He's a great singer and bassist too. Rush is just plain epic lol

[@gavinzawacki2920]

Man Cave TV Yeah, I'm a huge Rush fan, and it always makes me smile whenever I turn on the Blue Jays game and see my hero sitting there for the world to see. I'm suprised they didn't talk about him also, since he's there like every game.

[@brianwiseman9518]

Lee is awesome. rush is awesome

[@matters5]

- "I've never heard of her." - "Any hints!?"

[@ryancrawford3826]

1:04 That sounds alot like pewdipie... Just me or am i going insane.

[@sha890]

She works at Sportsnet. The caliber of people there is very low.

[@sha890]

Yeah, doubly bad ..lol. Twins, right?

[@jitoni_]

Astros Gamer9 you're insane

[@SPRPhilly]

Someone needs to look up the definition of "solved." I like the Geddy Lee's mom theory though.

[@GameCentralTactics]

Yeah. when I heard that I got excited. I'm a huge rush fan

[@SPRPhilly]

***** Yep, me too.

[@dsafdgbfadf]

breaking news we found out who she us but we cant tell you, or we are pretending that we know who she is and cant tell u

[@durrrrl3435]

That's definitely not Geddy Lee's mom!!

[@RaYzez]

SPRPhilly +

[@ryanbattistone93]

Mystery? Its just a rich old woman who like Toronto baseball.

[@HorrorFXDesigns]

I thought the title said solved??? This is about as "unsolved" as it gets.

[@DailyScratcher]

Greeneyes 217 how? she has a Facebook page. so she obviously is a real person

[@DailyScratcher]

Greeneyes 217 they know who she is it seems

[@HorrorFXDesigns]

Daily Scratcher the Facebook page is only called "The home plate lady". It tells you absolutely nothing personal about her.

[@johnnow4944]

1:07 on reddit there are attempts... wait thats not reddit

[@jmo13322]

WHO IS SHE?! WHERE DOES SHE COME FROM?!WHAT'S HER NAME?! WHO CARES!!!!!!!

[@CATJAYBIRD]

SHE CAME FROM HER MAMA'S WOMB LMAO HER NAME IS MRS. SANTA CLAUS

[@ShortMoviesbyDoug]

CATJAYBIRD How about just not replying next time?

[@ShortMoviesbyDoug]

Nope. I do have a sense of humor but the things I find funny aren't of this quality. This joke was not very well thought out. As you can see nobody else found it funny and that's why you have no upvotes. You must be the one without the sense of humor because my comment was made with no intention to be malicious or anything of the sort, but to make a joke. You have taken it a step further and provided me with a response such as this. I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to interact as I hope you do, too.

[@CATJAYBIRD]

ShortMoviesbyDoug lol idc if they do or don't i didnt write it 2 get popularity and trust i have great sense if humor but keep on replying back tho lol.... wait don't lol

[@masterferguson8703]

You must be fun at parties.

[@superkid12345]

Can someone get the CBC a dictionary so they can see what "solved" means. So the mystery woman behind home plate is....a woman.....with season tickets.

[@mattmax11]

Who wants to stay anonymous.

[@johnwoa]

Here's something interesting! I was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio and was a big Reds fan before moving permanently to the great City of Toronto and, when I first started noticing the lady seated behind home plate during the Blue Jays' games, my initial thought was, "The Ghost of Marge Schott". I kid you not! If anyone is curious, just "Google" her name!

[@warrennorton5203]

johnwoa she is the offspring of harold and yolanda ballard

[@brianwiseman9518]

I grew up a reds fan and thought the same thing lol

[@StukInBuf]

I remember there was a similar-aged lady about the time the NY Mets were making their bid for the 1986 title; she was sitting behind the plate at old Shea Stadium, rolling her arms over each other pretty much daily/nightly.

[@82ghall]

I remember her ...

[@bethzycabacaba1638]

i notice also this grandmom i always tell my friends while We watching the game

[@RBKluuzGH]

1:36 "she's so nice.....but not so according to blue jays staffers." Then goes on to talk about the mystery of who it is again, so is she nice or mean?

[@assmane999]

She meant: not so in regards to her being Kelly. It was bad editing there.

[@joeycaffarelli650]

Anyone notice the two guys sitting to the right too? I always see them there as well.

[@SuperStrik9]

My father and I call her "Grandma". Over the years when we watch games together, sometimes one of us will ask about her whereabouts. Y'know, along the lines of "Looks like Grandma isn't there, was she there yesterday?" lol.

[@shermenpeabody5850]

This is why i never watch network news.

[@thekingblake]

Reminds me of the Pink Hat Guy at cubs games

[@dhal2034]

why dont they just walk up to her

[@stretch13a]

Alfred Miranda if you watch to the end the tell you that they did approach her

[@afc358]

**SPOILER ALERT** Mystery Not Solved

[@atrealdino6667]

It's Ted Rodgers grandmother

[@rogeliocuellar436]

Why not just walk up to her and ask her "who the hell are you " simple as that.

[@johntheodore8047]

but nobody still knows who threw the beer!!!

[@drewby613]

That Charlzie gal rocks!! (That burgundy sweater 1:40.)

[@szlytely]

1:05 Heyy, I didn't know Pewdiepie was a Blue Jays fan XD

[@brandonyu9602]

She doesnt stand out like marlins guy.

[@MilesCastillo23]

This is news worthy? and if the mystery is solved, then who is she?

[@CATJAYBIRD]

SHE'S MY LOST LONG GRANDMOTHER LMAO

[@mikefoley3785]

She's yo mama.

[@youzettasonsofdigits1639]

she's Jose Bautista's mommy. She just doesn't want to admit that she comes to all her sons games just so Bautista can keep up his tough guy reputation lol

[@fredb0714]

In summary , it's still a mystery...

[@maxgomez7498]

The only person not throwing beer bottles at that stadium.

[@klaus7443]

I would be interested in knowing more about that couple standing outside the stadium at 1:22. They look sooooo HUGE!

[@tylercollins4654]

Slow news day in Toronto apparently

[@Aiden-og6ty]

this is where our tax payer dollars go.....

[@Lefishn]

tax payers dollars? we don't pay any tax towards the news

[@ethan_ryan]

CBC is a government run news organization.

[@Aiden-og6ty]

5 cent ass cbc is funded by the government.... Look it up

[@seanjohnson3536]

There used to be a guy that sat behind home plate at every White Sox game with a brown jacket on but no one cares about him

[@sa-uz8xv]

a news story trying to make something out of nothing. welcome to Toronto

[@blue04mx53]

My friends always refer to her as 'scarf lady' because she always wears a big scarf. One thing I also notice is that she almost never watches the game. She's chatting. Staring off in the distance or playing on her phone.

[@louislendorf7736]

I have noticed her for a very long time and with friends I refer to her as “Mama Jay is in her nest looking after her flock”.

[@stephenbernsen169]

how was it solved???

[@Tactrus]

Incredible news.

[@copycatninjitsu]

i love that homeplate lady, she wanted nothing to do with those two bit news hacks.

[@papiK0NG]

Legend has it they still talking about who is the fan instead of actually investigating.

[@vpsaline]

Tremendous reporting

[@Thibault_95]

during the Texas game the guy behind home plate did the best things. he was doing hand signals to try and throw off Texas pitcher he was a absolutely hammerd old man.

[@dotmhk_7168]

Thibault amuricans 😜

[@tommclarty17]

Just another example of the groundbreaking journalism we’ve come to expect from the CBC.

[@brennan883]

I've noticed someone wearing a Marlins jacket behind home plate in World Series games and near the court in NBA Finals games. Maybe you should do a video on them.

[@patrickstar8077]

This is weird as hell, my dad just pointed her out today and this came up on my KZbin timeline today

[@frankkuliczkowski6693]

She is not Geddy's mother but Alex Lifeson's mom. He sits in the same seat from time to time.

[@timmooney9694]

I like that everyone pronounces "out" as "oat".

[@Gorilla_Jones]

Pffffft, the only real home plate lady is Barbera Fields, the lady behind home plate at Shea Stadium from 1964 to 2012. You can see her especially in videos from the 86 series against the Red Sox.

[@1434fred]

wow! so you never found out who she is or even talked to her?? This is award winning reporting!

[@resipsaloquitur1857]

Your sarcasm is spot on re. the clickbait title to this video.

[@ironic_iron8770]

Why has no one made a story on the guy who always shows up in the stands behind home plate at every playoff game, with a bright Orange and obvious Marlins Jersey and visor?

[@tammyjoma]

My husband & I are Jays' fans & we have certainly noticed this lady. We call her Nana and get a kick out of it when she's there, always in the same seat. Not news for most, but it gives us a smile. We may notice if Nana looks especially dressed up, or if she's having a snack. She has an even personality like Edwin Encarnacion and doesn't often express emotion, but she sure got upset when he was quickly ejected by an ump in the 2016 season! We also try to guess if Nana's kids are there as there's often a resemblance. Just a sweet, fun little part of watching Blue Jays' baseball during the season.

[@dallasbrubaker6054]

If she has been a season ticket holder for years then that is her connection to the club.

[@no_reason2755]

Ive been to a lot of Rockies games, so why am I not "mysterious boy who sits in same section every game"

[@roughryder5]

So the mystery wasn't solved. Click bait galore.

[@mattd1142]

I was more interested in the fact that Geddy Lee. one of the biggest rock icons in the world is sitting in the same section

[@geddyleessoup5086]

Matt D that’s like the first thing I noticed

[@nate2376]

What about the Marlins guy at the Cubs game

[@edwardbliss8931]

The CBC news story that defined a generation

[@oscarelenes6438]

OMG!!!!! Who is this mystery woman, we dont know how to get ahold of her; all we know is that she sits in the same exact seat every game but how will we ever find her.

[@durrrrl3435]

Oscar Elenes 😂😂😂👍You win!! 🏆

[@stephenbrockman3024]

Her last name is sibble and she runs a chain of hospitals in Ontario

[@dronesolo6623]

do you ever know E40 at Giants playoffs games behind home plate

[@stopbullshitting4484]

She wants to be anonymous but you put her face and highlight her for everyone to harass her now at the game. She doesn’t want fame she just wants to enjoy the game and the team she loves.

[@toben42]

LOL, they need to know about a season ticket holder that hardly anyone heard of?

[@keithfrench8643]

I agree. I respect the fact this woman wants to stay anonymous, but solved the mystery is pushing the envelope

[@madweemitch44]

A loyal fan... There, solved

[@rickcrosson1589]

This story is like "EVERYONE WONDERS WHO SHE IS" and then everyone they ask is like "uhhhhh yeah I guess I've heard of her?"

[@timothyniemann5407]

I didn't know that every season ticket holder was famous.

[@Smegma007]

What about that blue post? It's always there. Didn't anyone else notice that post? Let's use public funds to get CBC there to cover that story. I want to know about that post!!!!

[@doctorfeelfunny584]

Someone should pay her to change seats for a season and see if the team improves.

[@peaceandllov]

Doctor Feelfunny They're pretty good.

[@MrTopsoil911]

that woman is the teams mascot. her name is Evelyn Descott

[@MrTopsoil911]

+Ryan Whalen yeah wats up

[@dsrevo79]

whats the interviewers name??

[@williammize8799]

What happened when mix Canadian and American sport this?

[@KellenFredricksen]

Lol I saw Geddy in the thumbnail

[@canevolve856]

Mystery is NOT Solved. Nice try.

[@youthought8544]

am im tripping or nah was that pewdiepie 1.00

[@peaceandllov]

NukeliciousHD The guy who plays TV games?

[@logandevick8879]

If you watch a Cubs home game there is a guy behind home plate! He where's a pink hat and green sweet shert

[@jpskout4718]

1:36 Pause the video there at that time stamp. This is what a woman who see's a twinkie and knows what she wants looks like lol. "OMNOMNOM! ME WAN TWINKIE NAO! AKA Twinkie Monster. Chick is freakin GLOWING man lol

[@spandex7055]

And that is the extent of objective investigative journalism with the CBC.

[@wpgspecb]

a wild Geddy Lee appears above the left side BLUEJAYS.com logo @ 00:25

[@darrenkastl8160]

HEY THATS MY MOM!!! She left 16.6 yrs ago! Shes not canadian she is a american trying impersonate a Canadian? What hell ma what ya doing??? Lol

[@crlguitar1]

Mystery solved? Asking the pitcher if he knew about her probably distracted him from the job at hand and the Jays went down in post season!

[@theshawnmurphyjournal2946]

She is related to the late Ted Rodgers of Rodgers Communications

[@JohnFoxx108]

They solved the mystery! The lady who sits behind home plate is the lady who sits behind home plate!

[@travvypoo]

What's weird is not her but people talking about her. Like seriously, what are people doing talking about her? Why am I commenting on this? lol

[@2ifbysea]

1:50 is this girl one of the sitcom twins?

[@PointyTailofSatan]

She's that girl that was in the Safety Dance video.

[@bigdigs2233]

The world's slowest news day.

[@irishnurhd3288]

I miss the days when George and barb bush were always behind home plate at the Astros games.

[@HJW81253212]

Award winning news broadcast.

[@mikefoley3785]

She's the ghost of a woman who was killed by a foul ball in 1999 in that very seat.

[@TheOlesarge]

So she sits in the same seats for over two decades and they still can't ask her who she is? OMG... Are these guys looking for D.B. Cooper, too?

[@ignaciocota5860]

Iam seeing the home plate lady RN.. NYY VS TOR O-4bottom 3.. she wearing a yellow mustard vest !! 9/29/21…. Yeeee yeee

[@jfhernandez79]

Reporters name??

[@nadojimoko6149]

Thecrazyrunner Hernandez Charlsie Agro

[@geddyleessoup5086]

Yo you can see Geddy LEe in the top left corner

[@resipsaloquitur1857]

Clickbait title as the name/identity of the lady is NOT revealed.

[@chrisclayton7625]

I wonder if she knows Burt Reynolds? I bet she knows knows Burt Reynolds.

[@SPRPhilly]

Funny you should say that because I was thinking it could be Sally Field. You know, because baseball field, Sally Field... never mind.

[@doctorfeelfunny584]

I think it's Reynolds incognito.

[@BuchananZ34]

it definitely looks like Kelly Watson. respectfully aged since that picture taken back in the 80s.

[@chrisclayton7625]

her name is Sybil.

[@raidencliff]

this is like that long haired guy who sits front row in every wwe event

[@mileswhittington9043]

Solved?

[@eyeflow]

So what was solved?? Still up in the air if you ask me.
