Whether it's on a TV screen, at a bar or from a seat at Rogers Centre, fans say they're super excited to see the Blue Jays surpass expectations with a successful run this season."
"From over 5,700 kilometers away in Brighton, UK, diehard Blue Jays fan Karla Courtney has been tuning in to watch her favourite team even if it means going to bed at 5 a.m. The excitement has come as far as London, she said, with her Blue Jays hat getting many compliments and cheers from other baseball fans. The Jays are the only Canadian team, so it's a big deal. It really bonds people together, she said, adding she's knitting a special sweater to keep calm during games and to commemorate the season."
