ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH, JAYS WILL RAISE TICKET PRICES

          The Blue Jays announced a price increase for their top
     tickets, except for season-ticket holders, according to
     Larry Millson of the Toronto GLOBE & MAIL.  The most
     expensive field-level seats jump from $25 to $27.50.  In
     addition, all home night games will begin at 7:05pm ET, 30
     minutes earlier than previously (GLOBE & MAIL, 12/19).
          BLUE CHRISTMAS: The Blue Jays dismissed Dir of
     Marketing Paul Markle and VP/Development Christine Legein.
     Team VP/Business Bob Nicholson said that the moves are the
     result of a restructuring of the business operations and the
     positions would not be refilled (TORONTO SUN, 12/19).
          SCHEDULE SNAFU: On April 19, the Jays and Raptors are
     each scheduled to play a 1:05pm home game at the SkyDome. 
     Raptors President Richard Peddie: "We're looking at
     solutions and we hope to announce something shortly."  The
     Jays have priority at the stadium (TORONTO SUN, 12/19).
