Jays rookie pitcher Trey Yesavage in for the seventh inning with Ohtani leading off. Drama of the highest order. Jays up 4-2. #BlueJays #WorldSeries

Springer a huge RBI single after a leadoff Barger double. Jays hit the ball hard off Yamamoto that inning. Interesting, and a real change. Could be a sign? Dodgers up 3-1 in the fourth inning. #BlueJays #WorldSeries

What a start for Kevin Gausman of the Blue Jays. Has has splitter going and strikes out the side in the first inning! #BlueJays #WorldSeries

Canadian Tourism Rides a Record Summer Wave: Overseas Visitor Spending Up More Than 10% If you thought you saw more tourists than normal in Canada this summer, you’re probably right. Destination Canada, which markets Canada to the world, says Canada’s tourism sector achiev…

Canada set a record for tourism revenues this summer. Domestic tourism spending was up 6.9% as Canadians stayed home to explore their country, and overseas visitor revenues jumped 10.4%. Good to see! jimbyerstravel.com/2025/10/31/c... #Canada #travel #tourism

Davis Schneider goes deep on the first pitch of the game. Guerrero takes Dodgers ace Blake Snell deep on the second pitch of the game. First World Series game ever to start with back-to-back home runs. Totally insane! #BlueJays #WorldSeries #baseball #Toronto

A few mementos from the days (1992-1997) when I was on the baseball/ Blue Jays beat for the Toronto Star. @StarSports #BlueJays #WorldSeries #Toronto #baseball

This Blue Jays team is so resilient. No Springer, facing Ohtani, and coming off a hugely disappointing loss, and the Jays beat the Dodgers 6-2 to even the World Series at two wins apiece. Vladdy homer, a big hit from Bichette, and a fab start from Bieber. #BlueJays #WorldSeries

Sending prayers to the lovely people of Jamaica as Hurricane Melissa nears.

One of the best meals this year; Casa Madera at 1 Hotel Toronto. Gorgeous space and a fab dinner with ceviche, octopus croquetas, truffle potatoes, heirloom carrots, Pacific cod, duck carnitas tacos and a brown butter torta. Great cocktails, too! @1Hotels #Toronto #food #travel

The Blue Jays lost the first two games of the ALCS at home, and won in seven. No big deal to lose last night. But Toronto could face Yamamoto again in a potential game six. That doesn’t send shivers of delight down my spine. #BlueJays #Dodgers #WorldSeries #Toronto

Addison Barger’s folks were in Toronto to see him play in the World Series and stayed at his place, so he slept on Davis Schneider’s couch the night before his pinch hit grand slam. Two thoughts; can’t he afford a hotel room, and I hope he did it again for good luck! #BlueJays #worldseries #Toronto

A lovely room at the serene and very green 1 Hotel Toronto. Great spot for baseball fans; less than a 20 minute walk from the Rogers Centre. Tons of Blue Jays fans and some Dodger fans gathering at Harriet’s Rooftop bar for a pre-game drink. #Toronto #BlueJays #1Hotels

Guerrero, Springer and Bichette has five singles last night and scored two runs, but had no RBI. Yet the Jays won 11-4. RBI from Barger, Varsho, Clement, Gimenez, Kirk and Lukes. That’s the epitome of Blue Jays baseball. #WorldSeries #BlueJays #Dodgers #Toronto

“Get the f— outta here.” Not quite what a gloriously fired up Max Scherzer told Blue Jays manager John Schneider when he thought he was being taken out of last night’s game, but that was the gist of it. Tremendous theatre and a new Jays all-time highlight. #BlueJays #Scherzer #baseball #MLB

What a game. What a team. Bullpen was fab last night. But look at the hitters: 5 of the 10 top American League postseason batting averages belong to the Jays. Clement, Guerrero, Varsho, Barger and Lukes all top 8. Clement hitting an absurd .643; Vladdy .523. Go Jays! #BlueJays
