Nick Logan · CBC News · Posted: Oct 31, 2025 8:58 AM EDT | Last Updated: October 31 It's a treat to have the Toronto Blue Jays in a position to win the World Series. However, the trick for many families and baseball fans will be finding a way to watch it happen. For those who sacrifice watching Game 6 to take the kids trick-or-treating, beware of Mother Nature. In some parts of the country, she isn't going to be playing nice. The confluence of wicked weather and the chance o

With Halloween already being a massive event, it was a dichotomy of panic and joy when the Jays played up to the World Series. Would we be able to manage two intense events in one single night, being just a small sports bar? Do we lessen the decor for Halloween since its not the focus anymore? What if they win? Is Halloween cancelled? And the photobooth and karaoke? Despite being short-staffed due to Halloween and their prior commitments, can we still succeed? Somehow, we

Some party planners are hustling to make room for Game 6 of the World Series in their Halloween festivities. Friday's match-up between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Los Angeles Dodgers will take centre stage at some spooky season fetes, while others will keep it on in the background. (Oct. 30, 2025) Owner Barbara MacPhee is among the Torontonians trying to squeeze the matchup between the Jays and the Dodgers into a night already packed with parties and plans. She’ll take her

The irony of the night was that the Jays World Series loss, saved the Halloween party! The horrifying decor was set up, waiting in the balance. The eyes of the venue were glued to all screens in anticipation. If the jays win the World Series, will there still be Halloween karaoke and use of the photo booth? Or would it all be pummelled by a victory in a massive jumping, screaming jays crowd? Either way, its a win! One of the best, original costumes went to Richie, with his

Canadian Press TORONTO — When Toronto Blue Jays fans pile into The Cat’s Cradle Sports and Spirits to watch Game 6 of the World Series on Friday night, they may get a little more than they bargained for: namely, fake cockroaches, bloody handprints and severed body parts. Owner Barbara MacPhee goes all out for Halloween, turning the midtown sports bar into a scene straight out of “Tales from the Crypt” and hosting karaoke. But this year, she has to push all of that back to mak

Nicole Thompson TORONTO — The fear of Shohei Ohtani's swing is nothing for some Jays fans compared to the risk of missing part of World Series Game 6 because of Halloween festivities. The Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers match-up has some die-hards and bandwagoners shifting around their trick-or-treating and party plans to make room for Friday night's game. Barbara MacPhee owns The Cat's Cradle Sports and Spirits in midtown Toronto, and she's had to push back the bar
