Rogers Gifts Brantford Woman World Series Tickets
Rogers reached out to Sarah Logan on Thursday after seeing photos of her mother and offered to send her to Game 6 of the World Series in Toronto on Friday evening.
Excitement for a Dedicated Blue Jays Fan
Trish Logan of Brantford was thrilled to learn she would attend the game. She and her husband Steve have watched every televised Toronto Blue Jays game for years. Trish said,
“This is so exciting. And now we get to go and see it. It was surreal when my daughter told me yesterday.”
The Story Behind the Invitation
Trish appeared on the front page of The Expositor earlier in the week, posing with ghost decorations while wearing Blue Jays shirts on her front lawn. Her daughter Sarah sent photos of the lawn, a TikTok video made by a passerby, and the newspaper front page to Rogers, the Blue Jays’ owner.
Sarah shared,
“I’ve been sending them periodic messages about how big a fan my mom is, and how she does so much for everyone else and deserves this opportunity.”
The Moment of Surprise
Rogers contacted Sarah around 8 p.m. on Thursday to confirm they wanted to send Trish to the game. To keep it a surprise, Sarah dressed her mother in Blue Jays gear and told her to say,
“I’m going to go to the World Series.”
Instead of the usual “say cheese,” it was a moment of joyful anticipation.
