Blue Jays Manager John Schneider Prefers His Costume This Year
John Schneider is not a big fan of Halloween, which may not surprise many. Instead of the usual celebrations, he spent a Friday at the Rogers Centre with his team, focused on a historic moment: completing a last-to-first season and aiming for the Blue Jays’ first World Series title in 32 years.
“Sitting in my neighbour’s driveway drinking a beer and giving candy,” Schneider said before Game 6 of the World Series. “I think Halloween’s a made-up holiday anyway. It’s kind of my least favourite holiday of the year. So if it’s a chance to hang out in the neighbourhood and have a couple of cold ones and laugh at some costumes, I’m all for it.”
Pointing to his Blue Jays attire, Schneider added, “But I like this costume a lot better.”
Although he had the critical task of helping his team secure the franchise’s first World Series championship in over three decades, Schneider took a moment to reflect on the past year.
“I always have that positive outlook, sometimes to the point of frustration to myself or people around me,” Schneider explained about his belief in a comeback. “I think you always have to say that could be the possibility. You never know who is going to do what, and every postseason game has a twist and a turn. I think that we’ve done a good job of understanding that as a team.”
This optimistic mindset ties back to the spirit of the Halloween date for Game 6 of the 121st World Series.
Author’s summary: John Schneider, though not a fan of Halloween, finds greater joy in leading the Blue Jays toward their first World Series title in 32 years, embracing optimism through the highs and lows of the season.
