So the “World Series” is over, what can I say?
The “Dodgers” were victorious beating the “Blue Jays”
So many of us watched each round from beginning to end
Turns out the team from “Los Angeles” was able to defend
So this is two years in a row that the “National League” has won
We should be proud of our boys in their playoff run
They gave it their all but just came up short
All of “Canada” was behind them giving support
The “Jays” were on everyone’s mind and they did us proud
Remember “there is no crying in baseball”, that’s not allowed
To all of us “Canadians” they are a sensation
They were able to unite us all as a nation
They battled through injuries and they gave it their all
They represented us heroically in the classic this fall
Finished the season and came out in first place
They were picked to lose the first round but that wasn’t the case
They beat the boys from “The Bronx” three games to one
After four games, the “Yankees” were done
They then faced “Seattle” in “Toronto” and lost the first two
Most of the so called “experts” said they were through
They went into “Seattle” and won two out of three
Then they won both games at home and put their fans in a “frenzy”
They were “World Series” bound, they reached their quest
This time they faced the “Dodgers” who were considered the best
We all know the outcome, I gave it away in this poem’s second line
As far as us “Canadians” feel, they were looking really fine
Remember this team finished in last place the year before
They gave it their all until they couldn’t give anymore
We could see the pain their faces when injured players went to the plate
This team as a whole deserved a better fate
On the score sheet you lost the last game by one run
To all of us “Canadians” you are second to none!
