Won over the World

They may not be 2025 World Series champs, but they won the hearts of fans worldwide.  This was the funnest group of guys to watch in a post season run, I have ever witnessed.  They'd lose, then come back.  Then do it again and again.

I've never watched baseball as intently like I did this fall.  The strike zone overlay was helpful.  It was an insanely entertaining post series from ALDS, to ALCS to W-S, and the games within the game.  The strategy, decisions, choices, and outcomes.  I watched most of the games by myself, but towards the end it was with groups of others in watch parties that were everywhere.  I loved it!  A nation united behind 1 team, bringing energy to the field, home or away.   It didn't matter.


The Blue Jays Manager said something similar, if there is one constant, it's that time marches on, win or lose.  Spring training comes around.  A new season starts.

He also apologized to the fans.  One MLB analyst said he didn't have to apologize for anything.  Which is true.  But apologizing is a very Canadian thing.  We apologize for everything.  The MLB analyst couldn't relate as he was American.  But we Canadians, appreciated his words and Schneider represented the Blue Jays organization as Canada's MLB team, in a very Canadian way.  

Thank you Blue Jays for an incredible post season run.

Looking forward to next season.  The Bounce Back Jays!
