Wright is expected to attend Game 1 of the World Series at Rogers Centre on Friday, where the Blue Jays will face the Los Angeles Dodgers, while the Kraken have an off day before hosting the Oilers.

Wright, a Burlington native, was seen wearing a Mariners jersey and expressed that he felt it was a 'win-win' situation regardless of the outcome, reflecting his mixed feelings about the series.

The Blue Jays clinched their spot in the World Series by defeating the Mariners 4-3 in Game 7 of the ALCS, with George Springer hitting a crucial three-run homer.

In a surprising twist, the Toronto Blue Jays invited Seattle Kraken player Shane Wright to throw out the first pitch at a future game, despite his team supporting their rivals, the Mariners, in the ALCS.

This victory marks a historic moment for Toronto sports, as it is the first time since the Raptors' NBA Finals win in 2019 that a Toronto team has reached a championship series.
