Max Scherzer's 8-year-old daughter sent handwritten note to Blue Jays hoping for Toronto return
Max Scherzer re-signed with the Blue Jays on a $3 million one-year deal after his 8-year-old daughter's heartfelt letter helped highlight the family's connection to Toronto.
- After agreeing Wednesday to a $3 million, one-year deal, Erica May-Scherzer posted a copy of Brooke's handwritten note, dated Dec. 15, and asked her parents to mail it to the Blue Jays.
- Family ties to Toronto helped make Scherzer's return easy, with the pitcher saying `My love for the game is strong because of their love for the game`.
- The note said Brooke Scherzer politely apologised for the World Series loss and asked for her dad's return, mentioning the CN Tower and Ripley's Aquarium, then went viral among Blue Jays fans.
- The 41-year-old right-hander returns to the Blue Jays rotation after helping the club reach the World Series and pitching 4.1 innings in Game 7, and the Scherzer family will get at least one more summer in the city.
- Brooke has become a fan favourite and will turn 9 later this year, while Scherzer ranks 11th with 3,489 strikeouts.
