that all of the country saw the Jays as their team.

I stood outside the stadium after the thrilling first game as hundreds of young Canadian sang Oh Canada.

What an extraordinary accomplishment. Isn't that worth mentioning?

By the way, Alexander Graham Bell was Canadian & created the telephone in Brantford, Ontario.
And no mention how at a time when the US President & his Maga followers are attacking Canada ruthlessly,

A popular T-shirt in Canada has Vlady as the sweetist little boy in his Expo uniform.
I read thru the article quickly, but it doesn't seem to mention that the Jays were last place in the AL east in 2024.

Typical American article about baseball. No surprises or revelations.

The languages of this series included French. For Québécois, Vladimir Guerrero Jr, is always the little boy wearing the Expo uniform of his Dad's Montreal team.

And the team with the Japanes stars IMMIGRANTS wins the American game.

Irony.

Canada is crying.

Let’s go Blue Jays! Came up just short, but boy was it fun. #WANTITALL

Toronto Blue Jays (Bot) @bluejaysbot.bsky.social · 2d

It was a magical ride with all of you.

Our city, our home, our fans showed up on the grand stage...and we couldn't be prouder.

The Jewish right discovering in real time that the Trumpist right, and the open bigotries it has unleashed upon the US body politic, is not in fact going to spare Jews, is quite a trip.

Tweet from John Podhoretz reading: "My mother was a Heritage board member for 40 years. You have befouled her, you rancid wretch of an amoeba."

over the past 24 hours.

I want to put that to rest right now—here are my thoughts:"

I’ve long thought @peter-wehner.bsky.social was the best of us. His decency, honesty, and unflinching courage shames the Republican Party of Trump.

In L.A., a major traffic jam, everyone alone in their cars.
Outside the Rogers Centre, the crowd, quite young, stopped to sing Oh Canada together.

What a great World Series!

Watching the commentary post shows, I was struck how different the 2 cities L.A. & Toronto are.

On Friday after the game, Toronto fans were heading home, mostly by transit & were singing, celebrating together.

Right with ya there--I was worried the Dodgers were gonna blow this one out of the water but the Jays have been putting up one hell of a fight.

This is a fall classic for the ages!

The Blue Jays lose one of the most grueling games in World Series history, learn one of their best hitters will be out of the lineup… then beat the Dodgers 6-2 to even the series as if it were nothing. World Series is tied, and it’s going back to Toronto one way or the other.

I don't care about baseball, but I enjoyed reading the irritated skeets as the game went to 13, 14 innings with no runs, and the references to the upcoming Game Three documentary from Ken Burns. 😆😆

I’ll say that while I’ve dug Bluesky a lot, the communal madness about last night’s World Series game was the first time I truly felt the OG Twitter magic. It truly has the juice, I think
