The Toronto Blue Jays cruised to a surprisingly lopsided victory in Game 1 of the 2025 World Series against the star-studded Los Angeles Dodgers. Addison Barger was the star of the show with a pinch-hit grand slam in a massive nine-run sixth inning.<\/p>\n
The Blue Jays rolled the Dodgers by a score of 11-4 in Game 1. And afterwards, Barger joined the MLB on Fox postgame set with host Kevin Burkhardt and analysts David Ortiz, Alex Rodriguez, and Derek Jeter.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s when Ortiz pulled out<\/a> a \u201cmy dawg\u201d shirt with his picture on it in commemoration of Barger\u2019s performance. It\u2019s not quite Jim Nantz giving his tie<\/a> to a senior on the national championship winning college basketball team, but you get the idea.<\/p>\n The first @DavidOrtiz<\/a> \u201cMY DAWG\u201d shirt of this Postseason goes to Addison Barger! \ud83d\udcaa@BlueJays<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/uYMOE1OJcF<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 FOX Sports: MLB (@MLBONFOX) October 25, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n While he shared with some laughs and seemed to enjoy the moment, Addison Barger actually left Big Papi\u2019s gift behind on the MLB on Fox set. However, Barger left it behind, which was something that Derek Jeter brought to his attention later in the show.<\/p>\n Afterwards in the postgame press conference, Barger had a simple reason for doing so. He didn\u2019t want any part of memorabilia that showed a division rival from the Boston Red Sox.<\/p>\n Addison Barger wasn\u2019t taking that shirt https:\/\/t.co\/zlCZYVm9BJ<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/wRHWH9almN<\/a><\/p>\n
