Blue Jays Home Run Jacket Explained: What Is the Origin Story?
The Toronto Blue Jays home jacket celebration started with an idea from team translator Hector "Tito" Lebron in 2021.
The Jays ended a 32-year World Series drought by defeating the Seattle Mariners, setting up a Fall Classic date with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The home run jacket is used to celebrate Toronto's home runs, and its origin story dates back to 2021, when Lebron was inspired by teams across baseball using props to celebrate their round-trippers.
The jacket — which Toronto uses to celebrate its home runs — stays on the hanger for as much of the series as possible.
The National League champions will try to keep the jacket on the hanger during the series.
