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.

Don't forget about David Wells who pouted the whole season he was traded back to Toronto. Or Ted Lilly and Scott Rolen. Some real grade A weenies there.
You're right though. Plenty of evidence to suggest that lots of player love playing in Toronto. Adam Lind married a girl from Toronto and spends time in the area. Romero maintains a home there still. Probably many others too.
