The Toronto Blue Jays will face the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 1 of the World Series at the Rogers Centre on Friday night, marking the Blue Jays' first appearance since winning back-to-back titles in 1992 and 1993. The Blue Jays secured their spot by defeating the Seattle Mariners in the American League Championship with a dramatic game-winning home run by George Springer. This event has sparked significant national excitement in Canada, where the team's success is celebrated widely. In contrast to the Dodgers' polished image and larger payroll, the Blue Jays are known for their exuberant style and have benefited from players other teams had given up on.
