I've been searching for this bit of 90s Canadiana for decades. Shirts with the sketch from this ad were actually printed and given away, yet it had become impossible to find. A friend managed to locate it in an ad comp video, and I'm overjoyed to be able to isolate and present it in all its glory.

They groaned, they stirred, they all uprose,
Nor spake, nor moved their eyes;
It had been strange, even in a dream,
To have seen those dead men rise and take the field for the top of the 23rd.

I mean if winning this game meant I had to face the Jays I might not be in a hurry to end it either.

Loving the trenchant analysis, ie, being the home team in extras feels good because you still get to bat even if you give up a run. Thanks, AJ, never occurred to me!

Whoever wins this, having to listen to A.J. Pierzynski is making me very thankful about having Sportsnet broadcasts for the ALCS.

Loved the "we're live on Sportsnet" nudging, even in vain.

What an outing from the pen. Just silencing those bats. Feels so much better coming against the Yanks.

A group of mobsters on the television program The Sopranos sit around complaining about their favourite team the New York Yankees losing to the Toronto Blue Jays, with one of them saying “do you believe these fuckin’ Blue Jays?”

They don't like the team, they like the idea of winning.

That shot of Yankees fans swarming for the exits feels like a refreshing fall breeze.

Oof. Gotta give credit to Boone - smart/classy move to yank Doval to defuse things.

Being told to "go back to Canada, f*****" is one of the enduring memories of my trip to the Bronx in September 2015. Jays took 3 of 4 and made the postseason though, so fuck em.

I mean I get Yanks dorks running onfield: your season's over, may as well be clowns.

Flashing back to flying to New York in 2015 to see the Jays effectively cinch the postseason in a rainy doubleheader blowout and waving at all the grumbling Yanks fans as they left.

Step on the Yankees' necks. Chase the starter in the third and the fans by the fourth.
