“On many Nov. 1sts to come, our contemporaries and descendants will be trading tales about this Game 7 in Toronto, a night of astonished stares and double-takes and wonderment over what’s next. The ones in Ontario will be obsessed, for a good while, about the many ways the Blue Jays could have won and the inside straights that allowed the Dodgers to.
Will Smith came up in the 11th inning with two out against Shane Bieber. There were two out, nobody on. Bieber tried to be careful, but when you’re careful against Smith and most of the Dodgers, you give up control of the ball-strike count. On 2-and-0 Bieber went to a slider that sat there and waited to become a passenger. Smith’s home run to left field gave the Dodgers a 5-4 lead, their first of the entire game, and eventually gave them their second consecutive World Series championship. No one had done that since the 1999-2000 Yankees, and no National League team had done it since the 1975-76 Big Red Machine from Cincinnati.”

“They say you need the bounces to win the World Series.
They weren’t talking about this.
Toronto’s Addison Barger drove a baseball so hard that it lost consciousness in the ninth inning of Game 6 Friday night. Instead of bouncing off the left-centre wall, or bouncing against it, it found a nice little crevasse and took a nap. “

“When Game 5 arrived Wednesday, and the local fans settled in to watch the Dodgers impose familiarity, the Blue Jays took the lead before they could text their agents.
Davis Schneider, the 28th-round draft choice who was signed by John Schneider, the unrelated scout who is now his manager, led off because George Springer is hurt. He wasn’t going to let Blake Snell impose his patterns and build his sequence. He let it rip when he saw the fastball coming, and the ball landed in the leftfield stands, a fan catching Snell’s pitch before catcher Will Smith could. Two pitches later, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (Montreal, Que.) did the same thing. The Blue Jays handed a 2-0 lead to a 22-year-old who, 16 months ago, was pitching East Carolina to an NCAA regional upset of Wake Forest. Trey Yesavage had already faced the Dodgers once, without trauma. This time he struck out 12 of them in seven innings and got 23 swings and misses. “

“Game 3 was like an orphan, or maybe an old CD player left in the yard, for scavengers. Six baserunners were nabbed at second, third or home. The Blue Jays lost a run because home plate Mark Wegner, faced with calling either a ball or a strike on Daulton Varsho, decided to call a ballike or a strall or something in between, and Bo Bichette got picked off because he couldn’t tell.”

“Questions we never thought we’d ask kept popping up through the artificial garden of Rogers Centre after Game One.
If Alejandro Kirk is going to keep smacking home runs, can the Blue Jays get him a Home Run Jacket that fits?
Can Freddie Freeman, last year’s World Series MVP and perhaps the steadiest hitter in baseball, remember how?
Should we scout the Dunedin Blue Jays and other Florida State League teams to find the featured pitcher in next year’s World Series?
There were others, but only 24 hours ago the only question was if the Dodgers’ parade route would be kept secret, the better to frustrate ICE agents. Now that Toronto has thrashed the Dodgers, 11-4, nobody is sure of anything. It’s worth noting that Yoshihuru Yamamoto pitched a complete game last time out, and is working Game Two for the Dodgers, and a team with a lifetime of postseason experiences should have little trouble clearing its head. But it’s more about the Blue Jays, and their unwillingness to serve as the scenery. “

It’s an unforgettable moment in Canadian baseball history - one that wouldn’t have happened, as Canadian Baseball Network editor-in-chief Bob Elliott recounts in this 2015 article, if Carter had signed with the Kansas City Royals, as the outfielder almost did at the 1992 winter meetings.
