HTN: Toronto Businessman Behind Bills Series is Dead

The man behind the move of eight Bills games to Toronto has died just five days before the first regular-season game in the Rogers Centre. Ted Rogers passed away early today after suffering from congestive heart failure for the past few years. Under his leadership, Rogers Communications became a North American leader in wireless, cable, publishing, and broadcasting. The company also owned the Toronto Blue Jays. Rogers ranked second on Canadian Business magazine's list of 100 richest in Canada last year.
