Overview

  • Game 6 is in Toronto tonight at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on FOX, with the Blue Jays holding a 3–2 series lead.
  • Los Angeles must win to force a Game 7, putting Dave Roberts’ team in a win-or-go-home scenario.
  • World Series appearances on Oct. 31 are uncommon, occurring in 2001, 2009, 2010, 2015, 2017 and now 2025.
  • Past Halloween lore includes Derek Jeter’s after-midnight walk-off in 2001 that led to the “Mr. November” nickname.
  • MLB highlights from Oct. 31 also note Alex Rodriguez’s replay-awarded homer and Andy Pettitte’s RBI in 2009, Madison Bumgarner’s 2010 gem, and the Royals’ late rally in 2015.
