The upcoming World Series features notable Jewish and cultural connections involving the Toronto Blue Jays. Despite trading away their only recent Jewish player, Spencer Horwitz, the team maintains multiple Hebraic links celebrated by Jewish sports podcasters, including team president Mark Shapiro and iconic fans like Eugene Levy and Geddy Lee. Two rabbis from Toronto and L.A. have made a friendly wager, with the loser wearing the winning team’s jersey during synagogue services. The Blue Jays’ French broadcasters, TVA Sports, have gained viral fame for their electrifying calls, with veteran announcers Denis Casavant and Rodger Brulotte playing significant roles in Canadian baseball broadcasting history. Brulotte, currently battling health issues, remains a beloved voice in Canadian baseball, especially in Quebec where the Blue Jays are now embraced as 'Canada’s team.' The series also highlights cultural icons like Geddy Lee and Eugene Levy supporting the team, and discussions around Jewish players’ historical significance, notably Shawn Green, who is considered the greatest Jewish player to have played for both the Blue Jays and Dodgers. The podcast hosts also mention other Jewish-related topics, including the involvement of Jewish personalities in sports and entertainment, and the importance of these cultural ties during the series.
