Stack of books βThe franchise: Toronto Blue Jaysβ
Final out of the World Series
From Day 1 to Game 7.
Lots of flights, lots of nights and a book released in the middle of it all.
Iβll always remember covering the 2025 #BlueJays. My life in Toronto is made possible because a lot of people give a damn about this baseball team. Thank you. π₯
Bo Bichette wants to be here. Heβs always wanted to be here.
Now, so cruelly and quickly, reality has arrived for one of the longtime faces of the #BlueJays:

No one wanted to go home. Not yet.
One last time, on the 2025 Toronto Blue Jays:

Chris Bassitt, fighting through tears, says he hopes that he gets another chance with this group.
βI love these guys β¦ itβs hard to replicate true love. You can try to replicate this. A lot of people will try, but itβs not really possible.β #BlueJays
Bo Bichette on his future:
βIβve said I want to be here from the beginning.β #BlueJays
Ernie Clement:
βIβve been crying for an hour. I thought I was done with the tears. I just love these guys so much. It was so fun coming to work every day.β #BlueJays
John Schneider called this βan epic World Seriesβ.
βAt the end of the day, players can become legends or they can be this close. We were this close.β #BlueJays
An emotional John Schneider:
βI just had my first team meeting.β
Heβs speaking of his pride in this team and the new standard that has been set for the #BlueJays.
Itβs over.
The #BlueJays have lost Game 7 of the World Series to the Dodgers, 5-4, in 11 innings.
This dream season, in which this team captured the hearts and imaginations of Canadians like we havenβt seen since 1993, ends in unbelievable heartbreak.
Will Smith just took Shane Bieber deep!
The #BlueJays, suddenly down 5-4 in the 11th, are fighting for their lives.
Due up in the bottom half: Guerrero, Kiner-Falefa, Barger.
By an inch, DomΓnguezβs foot beat HernΓ‘ndezβs to the bag. Wow.
The #BlueJays have a shot to walk off the World Series in the bottom of the 10th. If they donβt, the top of LAβs lineup is due.
The Dodgers are brining in Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who started last night's game, to pitch in the bottom of the 9th with one out.
What a scene at Rogers Centre. Alejandro Kirk, and potentially Ernie Clement, have the chance to walk off the World Series for the #BlueJays
Oh my god, the Dodgers have tied it.
Rojas to left field, solo shot. It's 4-4 in the 9th. #BlueJays
Ernie Clement now owns the all-time MLB record for most hits in a single postseason, with 30.
"Ernie! Ernie! Ernie!" rains down as the Dodgers make a pitching change.
The #BlueJays' breakout star of the 2025 World Series run.
The #BlueJays are three outs away from winning the World Series... and Jeff Hoffman will need to go through Shohei Ohtani.
This is as good at baseball gets.
Trey Yesavage is in to pitch the seventh inning for the #BlueJays, up 4-2 in Game 7 of the World Series.
What a season... and what a moment now.
Ernie Clement has paid for a beer for the last time. #BlueJays

The benches have cleared in Game 7 of the World Series!
AndrΓ©s GimΓ©nez was finally hit by a pitch after taking a couple up and in, then had words for Wrobleski. What a scene.
Jeff Hoffman is going after someone now, too, and had to be pulled away. #BlueJays
The most important defensive play of Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s life gets the #BlueJays out of an inning that could have been much, much worse.
The bullpen door needs to swing open for the 5th.
Bo Bichette just hit a three-run shot off the Flight Deck in centre field. 442 feet.
A career-defining moment for Bichette. Wow. Shohei Ohtani is walking off the mound.
#BlueJays up, 3-0.
Ohtani doesn't look sharp at all. His breaking pitches are hopeless early on and all he has is the fastball.
#BlueJays need to make this happen early.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. rolled up for Game 7 in a game-worn jersey from Canadian hockey icon Marie-Philip Poulin.

John Schneider on Max Scherzer ahead of Game 7:
βI was walking to get some food a while after the game [last night]. He was walking past me and it looked like he wanted to kill somebody already.β #BlueJays
John Schneider tells us that just before the #BlueJays took the field for Game 6 last night, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. told the team:
βIf youβre nervous tonight, look at me.β
Welcome to the final episode of Baseball.
#BlueJays - Dodgers
Game 7
8pm ET
The amount of focus and coverage on the wedged ball instead of the final play of Game 6 still doesnβt make sense to me the day after, but these things shouldnβt surprise me and really, none of it matters now.
Itβs what the #BlueJays need to avoid in Game 7: free outs & mistakes.
264 days ago, I landed in Dunedin for #BlueJays Spring Training.
It all ends tonight in Game 7 of the World Series.
They are legally not allowed to play more baseball after today. They wonβt let them.
