A life-long Blue Jays fan got to experience the World Series up close.
Colin MacIsaac lives near Toronto, but grew up on the East Coast in Halifax.
He and his family took in Game 2 on Saturday night, a 5-1 Jays loss.
Still, MacIsaac says it was a dream come true.
“The flag across the outfield, everyone singing the National Anthem at the top of their lungs, Joe Carter being there, and receiving the homerun jacket. The feeling across the city has just been crazy,” said MacIsaac.

While some blamed the loss on a mid-game Jonas Brothers performance, MacIsaac credits the Dodgers pitcher, who threw a complete game.
“(Yoshinobu) Yamamoto was just incredible, hats off to the guy, it was an historic performance. It was against us, so it was tough, and I’ll appreciate being there for that more with time. Right now, we just want to win the World Series.”
He predicts a long series, with the Jays winning the Fall Classic on home field this weekend.
When asked if he’ll be attending if it comes back to Canada:
“No, I’m broke after that one, but go Jays go!”

Series shifts to Los Angeles
The Blue Jays visit the Dodgers for Game 3 of the series Monday night, tied at 1.
It’ll be veteran Max Scherzer starting on the mound for Toronto, making his fourth World Series appearance with his fourth different team.
The Dodgers will counter with Tyler Glasnow.
Games 4 and 5 are Tuesday and Wednesday, also at Dodger Stadium.
If necessary, Games 6 and 7 would be back at Rogers Centre in Toronto on Friday and Saturday night.
The Blue Jays are seeking their first World Series title in 32 years, while the Dodgers are trying to defend their 2024 crown.
