Have the Blue Jays Win a World Series? That question has hovered over Toronto for more than three decades. But this October, it’s no longer a wistful “maybe someday.” It’s a real possibility — and if you step anywhere near the Rogers Center right now, you can feel it in the air.
After a jaw-dropping Game 4 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Blue Jays have tied the 2025 World Series at 2–2. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. just crushed a home run so loud it seemed to echo across Lake Ontario — and suddenly, Toronto’s 32-year wait for glory doesn’t feel so long anymore.
Inside Toronto’s New Obsession: “Have the Blue Jays Win a World Series”
That phrase has been muttered in bars, shouted from balconies, and printed on homemade signs across Canada. For a generation raised on highlights of Joe Carter’s iconic 1993 walk-off, this postseason has felt like a time warp — the city reborn in blue and white.
The last time Toronto touched the Commissioner’s Trophy, the internet didn’t exist, Drake was seven years old, and baseball was broadcast on chunky tube TVs. Now, a new cast — led by Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette, and Alek Manoah — has dragged the franchise back to the sport’s biggest stage.
Sportsnet called their Game 4 performance “resilient and fearless,” the kind of baseball Toronto fans had been craving for decades.
And they weren’t wrong. The Jays didn’t just beat Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers — they silenced one of baseball’s biggest spending powerhouses.
From underdogs to believers
Nobody expected this run. Not after a rocky regular season, not with injuries stacking up, and definitely not against a Dodgers team loaded with MVPs.
But the Blue Jays have thrived on doubt. They’ve become the postseason’s stubborn heartbeat — rallying late, hitting big, and proving that talent alone doesn’t buy chemistry.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has become the emotional center of it all. His Game 4 homer wasn’t just a highlight — it was a statement. He rounded the bases grinning like a kid, as if to say, We’re not done yet.
Meanwhile, fans at home felt the same electricity that pulsed through the city in the early ’90s. Horns blared on Yonge Street. Strangers high-fived in subway stations.
And for the first time in a long time, the question shifted from “Can they?” to “When?”
The ghosts of ‘92 and ‘93 are watching
The last time the Blue Jays won it all, Joe Carter’s swing ended the Series — and etched itself into sports history forever. Two titles. Back-to-back. A Canadian miracle.
Those memories have been replayed endlessly this week — grainy clips of Carter’s home run lighting up TikTok and X. It’s nostalgia on overdrive, mixed with hope.
Even long-time broadcaster Buck Martinez said on-air, “It feels like we’re living in a loop — the names are different, but the energy’s the same.”
And maybe that’s the secret sauce. The belief. The shared heartbeat that connects a 2025 crowd to those roaring fans from 1993.
Why this year feels different
Toronto’s lineup isn’t just young and hungry — it’s balanced. They’ve got swagger, chemistry, and something intangible that’s made the Dodgers look human.
The team’s dugout has become a party on its own: bubbles, chants, and energy that never dips. Even manager John Schneider, usually calm and clipped, cracked a smile and said after Game 4, “They’re writing their own chapter.”
Vegas still has the Dodgers as slight favorites, according to The Action Network, but analysts have started whispering that the Jays’ offense might be too hot to contain.
Toronto doesn’t care about odds, though. They care about moments — and this team is built for moments.
What it means to the city
Toronto’s relationship with baseball has always been emotional. It’s a love story that went quiet for years, drowned out by hockey headlines and playoff droughts.
But now? The city’s pulse syncs with every pitch. Bars are packed hours before first pitch. Kids who never saw the old championship teams are wearing vintage Jays caps like relics.
It’s not just a sports run — it’s a cultural moment.
And that’s what makes it feel magical.
So… have the Blue Jays win a World Series?
If you’re asking historically, yes. They’ve done it twice, in 1992 and 1993.
But if you’re asking right now — well, Toronto’s halfway there. Two wins from rewriting 30 years of longing.
It’s that mix of history and heartbeat that’s turned this fall into something unforgettable.
Maybe this is destiny. Maybe it’s just baseball chaos doing what it does best. Either way, Toronto’s alive again — loud, proud, and swinging for history.
And if the Blue Jays do pull it off? There won’t be enough champagne in Canada to go around.
