All eyes are on the Toronto Blue Jays as the team prepares for a possible World Series title this weekend. Excitement is high after Wednesday night’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, which saw the Canadian team take a 3-2 lead in the championship series.
But ahead of Game 6 on Friday night in Toronto, let’s take a look at some of the celebrities who have been vocal about supporting the Blue Jays. Stars from Meghan Markle and Prince Harry to Jacob Elordi and Brad Pitt are raving over the Dodgers — but who’s supporting Canada?
From Drake to Justin Bieber, these are the A-listers who haven’t been shy about their love for the Toronto Blue Jays.
