OK Blue Jays, let’s…get this done and start celebrating

Will this be the night?

The Toronto Blue Jays are one win away from their first World Series title in more than three decades, and they’re hosting Game 6 Friday night at Rogers Centre.

Win, and they’re the champs. Lose, and it will all come down to Game 7 Saturday night.

Whatever happens, this has already been a World Series for the ages — a politically charged match-up that featured two international superstars, an 18-inning marathon, and some heartwarming side stories.

Joining us on tonight’s episode of Closer Look are two people who’ve been glued to every at-bat: TorontoToday reporter Daniel Ramos, and Matt Betts, a CambridgeToday reporter who also hosts the Canadian Baseball Network podcast.

Hosted by Village Media’s Michael Friscolanti and Scott Sexsmith, and produced by Derek Turner, Closer Look is a new daily podcast that goes way beyond the headlines with insightful, in-depth conversations featuring our reporters and editors, leading experts, key stakeholders and big newsmakers.

Fresh episodes drop every Monday to Friday at 7 p.m. right in your local news feed — and on the show’s dedicated website: closerlookpodcast.ca. Of course, you can also find us wherever you get your favourite podcasts.
