"The premise is simple. Because of the different schedules across professional sports (the NFL plays only in the fall and winter, the NBA season doesn't start until mid-fall, etc.), there's an extremely small window in the year when all four of the major men's American professional sports leagues are all playing on one night. This year, Monday was that window."
"The Dodgers jumped out to a 2-0 lead after home runs from Teoscar Hernandez in the second inning and Shohei Ohtani in the third. The Blue Jays answered with four runs in the fourth to take the lead. Los Angeles tied the game in the fifth inning before Toronto retook the lead in the top of the seventh. Ohtani -- who reached base a record nine times -- tied it up again in the bottom of the seventh with his second homer of the night."
Oct. 27, 2025 marked a sports equinox when all four major men's American professional sports leagues were playing on the same night. The convergence results from differing seasonal schedules across leagues, creating a tiny annual window. MLB’s World Series Game 3 between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays extended to 18 innings and over six hours, tying the longest World Series game, and ended on a Freddie Freeman walk-off homer for a 6-5 Dodgers win. Shohei Ohtani reached base a record nine times and hit two home runs. San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama scored 24 points and grabbed 15 rebounds, including a 360 layup, in a 121-103 Spurs victory.
