David and Victoria Beckham – who moved from London to L.A. last summer in an effort to conquer America – continued their campaign for world domination Wednesday.

Cloud Gardens, a small park in the core of Toronto's downtown, is one of those urban sanctuaries to which Cubicle Nation comes to escape fluorescent lighting and luxuriate in the fresh air. On an unseasonably hot fall afternoon, the bankers eating their panini lunches and the lawyers on their smoke breaks in the park got a surprise. Dan Iaboni, a wiry 25-year-old with an ecstatic-go-lucky disposition, turned Cloud Gardens into his personal jungle gym.
SI.com's Luke Winn analyzes the matchup.
BIGGEST CLIMB: Nashville (17 to 13), N.J. (20 to 16), Toronto (27 to 23) BIGGEST FALL: Columbus (14 to 18), Calgary (24 to 28)

Standing in leftfield during a major league game -- I am playing leftfield -- heightens my very sense of being. There is a vibrancy to the colors and sensations around me that, even as I stand there, I am cataloging in my most secure vault of memory. I can feel the tips of my metal spikes knifing between blades of grass and into the soft, moist earth. I feel the fit and drape of my uniform, a major league uniform, my amazing technicolor dreamcoat. Gray pants, belted tightly, black-mesh jersey with TORONTO in metallic silver above the stylized Blue Jays logo on the left breast and a shimmering silver number 2 on my back. Never can I remember the sky bluer, the grass greener, the sun brighter.

Talk about a Big Hurt.

Like most of these moanfests, this story starts with the Bad Boy-era Detroit Pistons, who made a point of moving their feet and taking thrice as many charges as their opponents. Around the same time, the NBA moved to a format of three referees on the court at the same time, which coincided with the rest of the league attempting to emulate Detroit's ability to dive under anyone who dared drive the lane.
One of the first things a visitor to Toronto notices is its diversity; the melange of architecture, cultures and food forges a town-like feel in what is undoubtedly a bustling metropolis. In fact, Toronto has attracted so many cultures to its shores that the United Nations deemed it the world's most multicultural city. So it's only fitting that the Huron tribe gave it the name "meeting place" almost five centuries ago.
