Conservative Leader Stephen Harper spotted at Toronto Blue Jays practice

Conservative Leader Stephen Harper seems like the latest to jump on the ever-growing Toronto Blue Jays bandwagon.

Harper was greeted at the Rogers Centre Monday by Blue Jays great, Roberto Alomar, before attending the team's practice. He was also greeted by a little league team from White Rock, B.C. — the winners of the Canadian Little League Championship.

Alomar introduced Harper to his brother Sandy Alomar Jr., who is the first base coach for the Cleveland Indians, the team playing the Jays tonight.

Harper was on the field during some of the team's batting practice. He also met some of the team, and talked with the team's general manager John Gibbons, and Buck Martinez, the Jays' play-by-play announcer.

His attendance, during the federal election campaign, comes at a time when the Jays are leading in the American League East standings. The team hasn't had a winning streak this strong since they won the World Series in 1992 and 1993.

Harper was accompanied by his wife, Laureen, and son, Ben. They are scheduled to stay and watch the game.
