Today's topic will be entirely different from what this blog is all about. I would feel awful if I did not share my emotions with this historical win. I have been a baseball fan since I was 12 years old; my team back then was the Boston Red Sox I was at the very first Blue Jay game back at the old exhibition stadium, opening day. The Blue Jays defeated the Chicago White Sox 9-5 in their debut on April 7, 1977.
Despite snow flurries before the game and near-freezing temperatures, 44,649 fans attended this entertaining match, which featured 16 hits by the Blue Jays and 15 by the White Sox.How It All Started

The 41-Year-Old Veteran: Max Scherzer (Toronto Blue Jays) Scherzer is a future Hall-of-Famer, a three-time Cy Young winner, and a two-time World Series champion. He brings nearly two decades of playoff experience and a ferocious intensity that few can match, making the contest a battle of "Grit vs. Youth." He is the oldest pitcher to start a World Series game since 2008. The Young Star Who Does It All: Shohei Ohtani (Los Angeles Dodgers) The "young star who does it all" is the Los Angeles Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani. At 31 years old, he is arguably the most dominant two-way player in baseball history. He hits for incredible power and is an elite pitcher, though he is scheduled to pitch Game 4 tomorrow night, not tonight.
ReplyDeleteWho Will Win Tonight's Game? The question of who will win tonight's game is often a battle between experience and current form: The Case for the Blue Jays (Scherzer): His playoff track record is undeniable. In a tightly contested series (currently tied 1-1), the mental advantage of a veteran who has thrived on this stage could overcome any decline in his physical stuff. His history against the Dodgers from his time in the NL makes for an exciting chess match. The Case for the Dodgers (Glasnow): Glasnow has been electric in the postseason, posting a minuscule 0.68 ERA. If his fastball is dominant and his curveball is sharp, the Blue Jays' offence will have a tough time generating any consistency. The Dodgers also have home-field advantage tonight. Ultimately, in a World Series, the advantage often comes down to which team's offence can solve the opposing pitcher first, making this Game 3 a true toss-up!
