So am I. I’m thrilled for #BlueJays fans, and fans across Canada and around the world. Winning a World Series, in this political climate, would be fabulous for Canadians. 😊

Sadly, no. We went in 2015 & 2016 and had a great time. While postseason tix this year were expensive we could have bought some. But they sold out to scalpers & then 3 tix for 1 game were priced @ $4,000+. No way we’d spend that. Very disappointed but outrageous prices. #WorldSeries

Thanks, Mary. What a terrific game. Amazing night to see the #BlueJays get a huge Game 1 11 to 4 win against the #Dodgers. Thrilling!

The Dome is going to collapse.

After Addison Barger hit the first pinch-hit home run in World Series history, Alejandro Kirk just went yard. They’ve scored 9 in the 6th.

It’s 11-2 #BlueJays

Hey friends. I just watched the Reagan/tariff ad shown by the Great Canada during the World Series? Don’t know if I cheered more for the grand slam or the ad. You go Canada!!!!

Carney: "We can't control the trade policy of the US. We recognize it has fundamentally changed from the policy in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, & it's a situation where US has tariffs against every trading partner... what we we can control is developing new partnerships, including w/econ giants of Asia"

#Dodgers allowed a grand total of four runs in the NLCS. The whole series.

#Bluejays more than doubled that in the sixth inning alone tonight.

The strains of "OK, #Bluejays" ring out at Rogers Centre during the World Freaking Series for the first time since 1993.

#Jays lead 11-4.

Chin up, Dodgers. Being down 9 runs Canadian is only like 6 runs US. And after the tariffs, you’re only behind by like 3, 4 runs tops.

This is the first time #Bluejays have had a lead in a World Series game since 1993.

They're doing what they've done all year, just the world of #MLB didn't think they'd be able to keep doing it against #Dodgers.

5-2 #Jays bot6.

Clement told me yesterday "5 innings, 100 pitches" when he talked about #Bluejays grinding elite starters.

Blake Snell tonight? Five innings (plus 3 batters), 100 pitches. Leaves with the bases loaded and none out in a 2-2 tie.

In Toronto, the stadium is near the country’s biggest transit station and now surrounded by dense urbanism. Sometimes we get it right.

the last time a World Series game was played at SkyDome in Toronto, it was in 1993 against the Phillies and their catcher was Darren Daulton. Later, his Phillies teammate, Gary Varsho, named his son after Daulton, and Daulton Varsho just homered for the Blue Jays at SkyDome in the World Series

The home run by Daulton Varsho is the first round-tripper that a left-handed batter has hit off of Blake Snell all year.
