DUNEDIN, Fla. — The schedule says the New York Yankees are in town, and game time is approaching. The outdoor seating area at Bauser’s bar says otherwise.
With a soft breeze blowing across the patio, the place is strangely quiet on Thursday afternoon. For the moment, it’s just a lot of empty stools, three regulars and the unmistakable pang of something lost.
Typically, on the morning of a Blue Jays spring training game around the corner at TD Ballpark, the crew shows up early at Bauser’s to begin setting up ropes and barricades for the lines that will wind around the bar. Extra supplies will have been ordered and parking lot duties divvied up.
