It still doesn’t feel real. The Toronto Blue Jays lost the World Series last night right here at home, and even as the confetti fell for the other side, you could truly feel it in the air (and through the screens everywhere) because this wasn’t disappointment, it was absolute heartbreak. This team had the best record in baseball, the heart of a champion, and a city that believed more than ever. They wanted it so bad. They deserved it, and deep down, it feels like they should have had it.
After thirty years, the Jays brought October baseball back to Toronto in a way we’ll never forget. The crowds were electric, the city was alive, and Canada was united behind one team. This was our year to believe again.
The One That Got Away
Let’s be honest. Game 6 will haunt Jays fans for a long time. That bizarre play where the ball got “stuck” in the outfield padding should have been a ball in play, and it changed everything. What could have been a momentum-swinging moment turned into confusion and heartbreak. If that play goes the other way, we would be celebrating today.
Game 7 felt like a continuation of that tension. The Jays battled hard, had chances early, but couldn’t quite cash in. Guerrero hit one off the wall that just missed being a three-run homer. Bichette had a clutch RBI to keep things close, but the Dodgers bullpen, led by Ohtani’s late heroics at the plate and a record-setting save from their closer, shut the door.
A Season of Stars and Stats to Remember
This wasn’t just a good Blue Jays team. It was one of the best in franchise history. Period!
- Regular season record: 104–58, the best in the American League
- Vladimir Guerrero Jr.: 44 home runs, 112 RBIs, and one of the top OPS marks in baseball
- Bo Bichette: Led the team in hits again, proving consistency is his superpower
- George Springer: Played through pain, delivered clutch hits all postseason, and showed what leadership really looks like
- Trey Yesavage: The rookie sensation set a new postseason record for innings pitched by a first-year player (a breakout story for the ages)
- Kevin Gausman: Dominant all year, finishing top three in AL Cy Young voting
- Alejandro Kirk: Had his best offensive stretch of the season when it mattered most
- The bullpen: Posted a collective ERA under 2.00 in the ALCS, one of the best in team postseason history
There were moments of pure magic throughout the playoffs like that comeback in Seattle, the shutout in Game 4, and the record-breaking viewership across Canada. Game 1 of the World Series was reportedly the most-watched baseball game in Canadian television history. That says everything about how much this team meant to people.

Take a breath, Toronto. Smile through the heartbreak because if this year proved anything, it’s that our boys can go toe-to-toe with the best in the world, BUT next time, they’ll finish the job!
Springer’s Grit
You could see it every time George Springer stepped onto the field that he was still sore. He’s been banged up for weeks, but he never stopped grinding. That’s why he’s so loved in this city (and in the sport). He’ll finally get to rest now, and hopefully return next season healthy and hungry.
This whole roster deserves that break. They gave us everything. They fought through injuries, tough breaks, and the weight of expectation. And even when things went sideways, they never folded.
The Heart of a Champion
Sure, the trophy went south this year, but make no mistake, the Jays proved they belong at the top. They made Toronto believe again. They reminded baseball fans everywhere that Canada still has fire, talent, and pride in this game.
From Opening Day to last night’s heartbreak, this team gave us something truly special. The World Series didn’t end the way we hoped, but it ended with hope itself. The hope that next season, they’ll finish what they started.
Thank you, Jays. For every pitch, every roar, every October night that made us dream again and even though this season is over, one thing is for sure…
TORONTO BASEBALL IS BACK & CANADA’S TEAM IS JUST GETTING STARTED!!!
👏 GO JAYS GO 👏
