2 w. ago These 4 Toronto Blue Jays players have a shot at World Series MVP

The Toronto Blue Jays are one game away from winning the World Series.On Friday (and potentially Saturday for a winner-take-all Game 7), the Blue Jays head to the Rogers Centre with a chance to clinch their first title since 1993.One common theme about this year's team has been how close they are not only as teammates, but as friends, even picking up the "Glue Jays" nickname internally.But while they might be a team made up of hardworking guys who aren't too concerned about individual recognition, Major League Baseball will still award a World Series MVP at the end of it all to a player from either the Dodgers or the Blue Jays.If the Blue Jays win it all on Friday in a relatively smooth game (i.e. low scoring and no all-time hitting or pitching performances), the trophy appears to be Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s to lose. With eight hits, two home runs, and six runs scored, Guerrero has been the engine that's powered Toronto's offence so far.The Blue Jay...

As for Game 4, there was plenty of star power, but they were all seemingly cheering on the Dodgers.Along with star power, there was also royalty, as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were at Game 4, with both being spotted rocking Dodgers hats.Royalty in the front row for the ...
