The Toronto Blue Jays are World Series bound - and that excitement is rippling through local diamonds too.
For Welland Jackfish President and Director of Fun Ryan Harrison, the Jays’ success means a major boost for community baseball.
Harrison says while the Jackfish have always focused more on the entertainment side of the game, a deep playoff run by the Blue Jays means even casual fans could find themselves more drawn to their games.
Harrison was at Game 7 of the ALCS when Toronto eliminated the Seattle Mariners, an atmosphere that he says was unlike any other big league game he's been to.
As the Jays chase their third World Series title, Niagara’s baseball scene is ready to catch the momentum.
