For the first time in 32 years, the Fall Classic will return to the land of the maple leaf as the Toronto Blue Jays try to take the World Series from the reigning champs in the city of the angels, the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Both teams had remarkable regular seasons, with Dodger two-way phenom Shohei Ohtani knocking in 55 homers and 62 punchouts and Jays shortstop Bo Bichette finishing with a .311% batting average and 94 runs batted in. The Birds ended up with a league leading 94-68 record, while the Dodgers were one game behind at 93-69; in total both teams had productive seasons.

“The Dodgers, they just had a really good season and their energy was there each game,” Allyson Mileszko (11) said.

Though playoffs are never about the best team, they’re about the hottest team; and the way things are going, an unstoppable force is meeting an immovable object.

Locking up the playoff favorites was the first thing Toronto marked off their checklist as they brought the hammer down upon the Yankees and their elite bats, like Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton; With Vladimir Guerrero Jr. launching a grand slam in game 2.

Then fighting past the Mariners, the Jays fought through 7 games to take the AL pennant which by means was no easy feat; competing against Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodriguez, who are regarded as two of the best defensive players of the American League.

Meanwhile in the National League, the Dodgers have shut the door on all of their opponents. Snuffing out the Reds in a 2-game wild card series, then moving onto Philadelphia where they extinguished the Phillies and their stars Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper.

At the championship, The Boys in blue made the Brewers look like a minor league club as they took all four games to make it back to the Fall Classic for the fifth time in 10 years; where in their fourth and final game, Ohtani launched three nukes into the stands and fanned out 10 batters in six shutout innings.

This may end up a historical world series, as it matches up America’s best team against Canada’s only team, which can help fuel the longstanding rivalry between the neighboring countries and create a profound sense of pride for both sides.

“I think there’s a lot of people out there whose lives revolve around the sport, which does really bring patriotism into the series,” Logan Coleman (12) said.

Regardless of the outcome, this World Series will determine whether the Dodgers are really the greatest team of this generation, or if the Blue Jays can prove the world wrong and defeat the standing champs.
