"in front of a sold-out crowd at Toronto's Rogers Centre. It was a game that Jays fans were certain would be theirs after Bo Bichette's three-run homer put the team up in the third inning. But a game-tying home run in the ninth inning by the Dodgers' Miguel Rojas evened out the score. Then came the winning homer from the Dodgers' Will Smith in the extra 11th inning."
"University of Toronto psychiatry professor Rajeevan Rasasingham says it's normal if fans continue mourning a few days after the loss because they were so emotionally invested in the series and have built a relationship with the team. "The sport has created a community," he said in a phone interview, noting youth may be at greater risk for feeling the post-World Series blues."
Thousands of Toronto Blue Jays fans returned to work and school still grieving after a tense Game 7 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Dodgers won 5-4 in the 11th inning after Bo Bichette's three-run homer had given the Jays an early lead and Miguel Rojas hit a game-tying home run in the ninth. Fans left Rogers Centre visibly upset, some crying and swearing. A University of Toronto psychiatry professor noted that intense emotional investment and community ties around sports can prolong mourning, especially among younger fans. Ontario’s premier congratulated the team on a hard-fought World Series run.
