Stroman has the Toronto skyline tattooed on him.
Kevin Pillar loved playing in Toronto and almost came to tears when he was traded.
Donaldson loved being a Jay.
Roy Halladay.

I think a lot of players love being in Toronto. Once they get there they realize how truly multicultural it is. It is a world class city with a lot to offer, especially if you are a professional athlete.

But then you have the Shea Hillenbrands, Frank Thomas' and Roger Clemen's who probably won't say many nice things about T.O.
