Fredo Cervantes, The Sporting Tribune:

The 2025 World Series matchup is official—and unprecedented. For the first time, the Dodgers and Blue Jays will meet in the Fall Classic, with Game 1 set for Friday, October 24 at Rogers Centre.

Well, this is a first for me, too: I’ll be cheering for an American League team based outside the United States in the World Series.

Anyone over the LA Dodgers—them’s the rules: I don’t make ’em.

OK, I totally do. I’ve mentioned them before, but here they are again:

• Mets and Giants over anyone
• Eastern/Western Divisions over Central
• National League over American League
• Anyone over Yankees/Dodgers

Yes, that sometimes meant rooting for a Central Division or American League team if they were up against the Yankees or Dodgers, but it was always worth it. Nothing was more important than those two teams losing.

Nothing more important.

So yes, I’m rooting for the Blue Jays to Beat LA! Beat LA! Beat LA!
