Millions of Canadians will undoubtedly be glued to their television screens to watch the Jays host the Royals in game three of the American League Championship Series, which as it turns out, happens to fall on election day.
The Jays advanced to the ALCS Wednesday night after Jose Bautista hit a game-winning, three-run home run against the Texas Rangers.
Viewing numbers for previous Jays playoff games have been extremely high.
Scott Moore, president of Sportsnet & NHL Properties for Rogers, tweeted that more than nine million Canadians watched the game.
With the Jays first home game falling on the night of Oct. 19, many people have taken to Twitter to express their opinions on the election vs. baseball showdown.
