TORONTO – Blue Jays fans are still looking for a World Series win in Toronto tonight after the team fell to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday, forcing Game 7.
Toronto is seeking the championship title for the first time since 1993 in front of a sold-out crowd at Rogers Centre and millions of fans watching across Canada.
After the visiting Dodgers defeated the Jays 3-1 on Friday, the winner of the decisive Game 7 will hoist the coveted Commissioner’s Trophy.
Lifelong Jays fan Duane Gayadeen arrived at Rogers Centre Saturday with his young son Cooper for their first World Series game, confident in the Jays’ chances and hoping to create new family memories.
Gayadeen said he was around his son’s age when the Jays last won the World Series in 1993 and he remembers jumping up and running out of the house in celebration.
Seeing the Jays win another World Series with his son would be amazing, he said.
“If it happens every 30 years … to share in this moment is once in a lifetime maybe – or maybe hopefully twice.”
Michael Chrzan, who arrived with his wife and daughter, said he was tired after watching the Jays lose in Game 6 but expected a different outcome in the clincher.
“We’ll win tonight,” he said before the first pitch.
Chrzan recalled witnessing Joe Carter’s historic home run in the 1993 World Series, but not before he had to rush home to grab the tickets he realized he’d forgotten once he arrived at the stadium.
“We made it back in time for the opening ceremony, but ever since then, whenever we go to an event, my wife always says to me, ‘Have you got the tickets?'” he said.
For those who can’t get into the ballpark, Game 7 watch parties are taking place across Toronto, including at Scotiabank Arena, Nathan Phillips Square and the University of Toronto’s downtown campus.
Watch parties are also planned across the province and the country, with Canadians cheering the Blue Jays on from Vancouver to St. John’s, N.L.
