Original Toronto Star caption: Sliding home: What does one do while waiting to see if the rain will stop at a baseball game? Well, Kansas City's Willie Wilson found a way to pass the time by sliding on the wet artificial turf at Exhibition Stadium.The Royals and Jays supplied some antics for the brave fans who ventured to the stadium only to find out that the game was postponed. Another factor in the postponement was that a rock concert was planned for the Ex last night.
