Boyertown Native Trey Yesavage Starts Game 1 of 2025 World Series for Toronto Blue Jays

In a remarkable turn of events, Trey Yesavage, a 22-year-old rookie from the small town of Boyertown, Pennsylvania, is set to start Game 1 of the 2025 World Series for the Toronto Blue Jays. The tight-knit community is bursting with pride as one of their own steps onto the biggest stage in baseball.

Boyertown, where school spirit runs deep and baseball is a way of life, has rallied behind their hometown hero. At Boyertown Area High School, where Yesavage honed his skills, Friday, October 24th was officially declared "Trey Day." Students and staff donned their Blue Jays gear and made banners to cheer on their local star.

Yesavage's former high school coach, Todd Moyer, who has guided countless players on the diamond, is amazed by his protégé's rapid rise to the majors. "It's amazing to me that he's starting in Game 1. I would have started him in Game 2. That's where he was comfortable, but it's even a better story that he's throwing Game 1," Moyer said.

The young pitcher's journey from the small-town mound to the World Series stage has inspired the next generation of Boyertown Bears. Senior players like Jake Musselman and Samuel Letter are in awe of Yesavage's success, with Musselman declaring, "For the World Series, we will all be Canadians this year."

As Yesavage takes the mound on Friday night against the Los Angeles Dodgers, the eyes of Boyertown will be fixed on their hometown hero, reminding everyone that big dreams can start in small places.
