The sender writes that she filled out this postcard just after watching Game Four of the World Series . In 2025, it featured the defending champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers , against the Toronto Blue Jays . It felt like everyone in Canada had Blue Jays fever. In Game Four, the Blue Jays defeated the Dodgers 6–2, tying the best-of-seven series at two games apiece. For Toronto, this was a particularly exciting moment—the 2025 World Series marked their first appearance since winning back-to-back titles in 1992 and 1993. The Dodgers entered the series as favourites, although Toronto held home-field advantage thanks to a stronger regular-season record. The series itself turned out to be tightly contested, ultimately going the full seven games. The Dodgers went on to win the World Series in dramatic fashion. In Game Seven, the Blue Jays were leading by one run in the ninth inning when Miguel Rojas hit a one-out home run to tie the game. Toronto was unable to respond in the bottom of the in...

This sender from Dallas mentions in her postcard that she and her husband went to a Texas Ranger and Los Angeles Angels baseball game and the Rangers won. She then asks if I like baseball. I do like baseball but I don't usually watch it on television. However, as I write this blog on October 30, 2025, Canada is in the midst of baseball fever as the Toronto Blue Jays - Canada's only Major League Baseball team - is one win away from winning their third World Series - first since 1993. They are currently playing the Los Angeles Dodgers, the 2024 World Series Champions. I haven't watched this much baseball on television in years. The Blue Jays and the Dodgers each won a game in Toronto, and then the Blue Jays won 2 of the next 3 games in Los Angeles. They now return to Toronto for game 6 and game 7 (if necessary). It has been an exciting series, especially game 3. If you are not familiar with baseball, teams play 9 innings. After 9 innings in this game, teams were tied at 5 api...

The previous entry is about the Baltimore Orioles, so let's take a look at the Los Angles Dodgers, who the Orioles defeated in 1966 to win their first World Series.  The Dodgers were established at the Brooklyn Grays in 1883. They joined the American Association from 1884-1889, and then joined the National League in 1890. They have had a number of nicknames over the years: Brooklyn Atlantics, Bridegrooms, Grooms, Superbas, Trolley Dodgers, Robins. From 1932 to 1957 they were the Brooklyn Dodgers.  The Dodgers left Brooklyn in 1958 to play in Los Angeles, where they have been ever since.  The Dodgers have won the World Series seven times - 1955, 1959, 1963, 1965, 1981, 1988, and 2020. They also won the pre-modern World Series in 1900.  The Dodgers broke the colour barrier in Major League Baseball when they played Jackie Robinson. Robinson played in first Major League Baseball game on April 15, 1947. He won the inaugural Rookie of the Year award which would later be na...

A great sports-themed card of the Baltimore Orioles. The Orioles are a Major League Baseball team that play in the East Division of the American League. The franchise, which started out as the Milwaukee Brewers in 1894, were one of the eight charter teams of the American League in 1901. The franchise in Milwaukee only last one year. In 1902, the team moved to St. Louis and became the Browns. In 1953, the Browns were purchased by a group of Baltimore business and civic interests and moved to Baltimore to become the Orioles.  The franchise's first World Series appearance was in 1944, but they lost to their stadium sharing rivals from the National League, the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cards would win 4 games to 2. Both teams featured rosters of players who normally wouldn't be playing the Major League level. Many of Major League Baseball's talent were fighting in  World War II.  The first World Series for the Baltimore Orioles came in 1966, where they beat the Los Angeles Dod...
