‘One More win!’ Fans Go Wild as Blue Jays Secure Chance to win World Series in Toronto on Halloween
Toronto is buzzing with excitement after the blue Jays defeated the Dodgers Wednesday night, securing a chance to clinch the World Series in a potential Halloween showdown back home. The team’s victory keeps their championship hopes alive and sets the stage for a historic Game 6 at Rogers Center.
This marks the first time since 1993 the Blue Jays have reached this stage in the playoffs, igniting a fervor among a generation of fans who have long awaited a return to postseason glory. A win on Halloween would not only deliver a championship to Canada but also cap off an improbable playoff run for a team that defied expectations throughout the season. However, getting into the stadium to witness history will be a challenge, as tickets are currently only available on the resale market with standing-room general admission exceeding $2,000.
The atmosphere outside Rogers Centre Wednesday night was electric, even as the team played in Los Angeles. Fans gathered to celebrate the win, creating a vibrant post-game party. “I wish I was a millionaire and could be here to watch it,” said Lisa Dorey, who cheered on the Jays at a Rogers Centre watch party for just $15. “I’ll be watching from home and screaming [with] what’s left of my voice.”
CBC Toronto is asking fans who have decorated their lawns and homes with a Blue jays theme for Halloween to share pictures at tonews@cbc.ca.
