TORONTO – The Blue Jays fan who caught Bo Bichette’s home run ball in the third inning of the clinching World Series game on Saturday just happens to be the head of another iconic Canadian brand.
Meghan Roach, the CEO of Roots, said the ball came right at her in Section 148 at Rogers Centre, just a few rows over the centre-field wall.
“It fell right in front of my feet and I literally just picked it up,” she said.
“It’s such a fantastic experience to catch the ball, and I can’t wait to take it home to my two girls.”
Bichette had a three-run shot in the bottom of the third inning, his first playoff home run. It put the Jays ahead 3-0 at the time and sent fans inside the stadium into a frenzy.
Roach, who attended Game 7 with her siblings, said she’s a longtime Blue Jays fan and was hopeful the team could win it all.
But that wasn’t in the cards for the Jays, who fell to the Dodgers 5-4 in extra innings.
Roach said grabbing the ball was an “overwhelming” experience. In the meantime, she was holding on tight to her own game trophy.
“I’m zipping it in my pocket,” she said of the home run ball.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 1, 2025.
