Summary
- Blue Jays manager John Schneider's journey from Halloween lawn chair to World Series
- Dodgers ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto's bid to become 4th pitcher with 3 complete games in a postseason

As of November 1st, 2025, the Toronto Blue Jays are on the brink of their first World Series championship since 1993. The team's manager, John Schneider, has come a long way in just one year – from spending last Halloween night in a lawn chair sipping a beer, to now leading his team to the cusp of a historic title.
The Blue Jays' path to the championship has been paved by a dominant performance, which has put them up 3-2 in the series against the defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers. Standing in their way is Dodgers ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who is bidding to become only the fourth pitcher in history to throw three complete games in a single postseason.
Adding to the drama, the Blue Jays will have the return of star outfielder George Springer to their lineup for Game 6. Springer, who exited Game 3 with a wrenched right side, has been a crucial part of the team's playoff run, with an .884 OPS and four home runs, including a go-ahead three-run shot in the ALCS.
The stage is set for a thrilling conclusion to the 2025 World Series, with the Blue Jays on the verge of ending their 32-year championship drought and the Dodgers fighting to extend their season and force a decisive Game 7.
