Fans stunned at Nathan Phillips Square
Thousands of fans at Toronto’s Nathan Phillips Square, who just minutes earlier had erupted in cheers with a Vladimir Guerrero Jr. double in the bottom of the 11th, were silenced by a double-play that ended their hopes for a World Series championship.
Most cleared out quickly after the last play. But many remained, frozen in disbelief.
Angelo Nitsis just sat on the ground dumbfounded by the result.
“I’m stunned, heartbroken, at a loss for words at what’s happened here.”
Michael Romualdi described his feeling as “eternal sadness.”
“It hurts. It hurts to see our boys lose like that,” he said. “It sucks. It sucks. And on a double-play too.”
“At the end of the day they tried their best, they played their damn hearts out, but I guess our hitting wasn’t there, our offence couldn’t keep up with the Dodgers.”
