7 d. ago The Blue Jays flipped the World Series script on baseball’s biggest spenders

Toronto’s nine-run eruption turned an alleged mismatch into a statement, showing the Dodgers’ empire of excess can be thwarted by patience, contact and beliefBefore the first pitch of the 2025 World Series on Friday night, it had been 32 years and one day since the greatest day in Toronto Blue Jays history and the last time that the franchise hosted a World Series game.On 23 October 1993, outfielder Joe Carter hit the second ever walk-off home run to clinch a World Series championship on a pitch that was being thrown to Philadelphia Phillies catcher Darren Daulton.
