Blue Jays Manager John Schneider Prefers This Year’s Costume
John Schneider is not a big fan of Halloween, which isn't surprising to many. Instead of celebrating the holiday, he was focused on a far more significant event: leading the Blue Jays during their chance to complete a last-to-first season and win their first World Series title in 32 years.
Reflecting on Halloween and Baseball
Before Game 6 of the World Series at the Rogers Centre, Schneider remarked:
“Sitting in my neighbour’s driveway drinking a beer and giving candy. 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.”
He then added with a smile, pointing to his Blue Jays attire, “But I like this costume a lot better.”
Looking Back and Forward
Schneider admitted he maintains a positive outlook, sometimes to his own and others' frustration. Regarding the team’s postseason journey, he shared:
“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 that has a twist and a turn. I think that we’ve done a good job of understanding that as a team.”
This mindset reflects the unpredictable nature of baseball and the significance of Game 6 in the 121st Fall Classic.
Summary
Though indifferent about Halloween, John Schneider values his Blue Jays role, embracing the moment as his team chases a historic championship.
