Toronto Blue Jays fans continued to buzz with excitement ahead of Saturday’s Game 2 of the World Series, after Friday night’s 11-4 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Blue Jays will be aiming to win again in the best-of-seven series when veteran right-handed pitcher Kevin Gausman gets the start.
Jays superfan Adam Rand says this series reminds him of the last time Toronto made it to the World Series in 1993, when he was in his early teens at his grandmother’s house watching Joe Carter hit a walk-off homer.
Speaking inside Rogers Centre, he says having Joe Carter throw out the first pitch at the game on Saturday is special given the Jays’ current run.

Meanwhile, fellow fan Mark Major says he’s been waiting for the Jays to make it to the Fall Classic his whole life, since he was born in 1993.
He says he was “through the moon” after Addison Barger’s electric Game 1 pinch-hit grand slam, and he hopes to see another one on Saturday when he’s in the crowd at the stadium.
