"The nerve-wracking season could come to an end tonight if the Blue Jays score a fourth victory to be crowned World Series champions after 32 years. But if their bats and basemen are spooked by a Dodgers comeback, the series will be forced into a do-or-die Game 7 Saturday night. The Jays returned home to Toronto after dominating in back-to-back wins for a 3-2 series lead against reigning champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers."
"While baseball fans pack into bars, living rooms and a sold-out Rogers Centre in anticipation of their team's victory, businesses across the Greater Toronto Area have been reaping the boom in Blue Jays fever. From baseball cards to vintage merchandise to reservations at sports bars, fans are scrambling to get in on the World Series excitement. Though baseball cards made their resurgence in Canada during the pandemic, John Amendola, owner of Mintink Trading Cards, says Blue Jays items have been flying off the shelves."
