Bob at the Rogers Centre – Game 7 of the World Series

 

The energy outside the Rogers Centre was electric today. Toronto was painted blue — Blue Jays blue — as fans streamed down Front Street and Bremner Boulevard, all buzzing with the excitement of Game 2 of the World Series. I joined the crowd, camera in hand, capturing groups of fans proudly wearing their jerseys, laughing, and soaking in the cool October air.

I walked from Union Station toward the stadium, passing clusters of people chanting, cars honking, and that familiar smell of roasted peanuts drifting through the air. The closer I got, the louder it became — music, cheers, and the hum of anticipation.

Outside Gate 10 and 11, fans lined up early. Some were trading stories, others snapping selfies under the giant Blue Jays logo and banners that declared “Want It All.” It felt like the whole city was behind this team. Even the pavement outside had been transformed — painted with the World Series logo and “2025” boldly stenciled beneath.

I spotted a few fans from the visiting team too — decked out in red jerseys — chatting and posing for photos with Jays fans. That’s what I love about photographing moments like this: everyone comes together, different colors but the same love for the game.

Game 2 was a night to remember. But as for me, I’m already thinking ahead — on Saturday, I’ll be back for Game 7. The final showdown. Win or lose, it’s going to be one for the history books, and I’ll be there, camera ready, capturing the faces, the flags, and the city’s heartbeat one frame at a time.
