The Los Angeles Dodgers returned home with a tie in the World Series after a standout performance from Yoshinobu Yamamoto in Game 2 of the Fall Classic.
But not everything worked out.
If the Dodgers were to get into trouble today, it would presumably be at US Customs as they were heading back to the US today.
In any case, international travel is not a new part of Major League Baseball, which has had teams play in Canada for the past 57 seasons. https://t.co/cbFpYFaMcq

Indeed, yesterday (Sunday) the Dodgers were scheduled to practice at 5:00 pm at Dodger Stadium, where the Toronto Blue Jays will host the next three games of the World Series. But manager Dave Roberts and his coaching staff were unable to arrive at the stadium on time, losing several hours due to flight delays between Toronto Pearson Airport and Los Angeles International Airport.
In many ways skipperit's confusion.
I don't want to go into details, I just arrived 30 minutes ago. Therefore there were several delays. I don't know if that was the intention or not. But we did it. We did it.
Roberts' suggestion that his team may have faced an intentional delay from the Canadiens has sparked speculation among people and could add fuel to the fire of the ongoing streak. So much so that the manager had to retract his statement.
I know the Prime Minister won't call airline security or the FAA to make sure they're detaining us. I know he won't. Of course yes. Canada is not trying to sabotage the Dodgers. I know this. It was just a long day.
For the record, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney picked the Blue Jays, who won top honors in six games. But that had nothing to do with the Dodgers' problems leaving the country.
In fact, for the World Series games in Toronto, the Dodgers flew a group of about 400 people on four planes, and the players, traveling on their own plane, left Toronto after Saturday's game and arrived in Los Angeles without incident. As for the manager, coaches and other staff, they only left on Sunday morning.
Great stuff from Robertswhich takes the pressure off itself and takes the attention away from its players.
