Celebrations will be in full swing around the London-area as baseball fans prepare to cheer on the Toronto Blue Jays as they take on the Los Angeles Dodgers in the first game of the World Series tonight.

From crisp Toronto air to a potential heat wave in Los Angeles, this year’s matchup joins a long list of World Series showdowns where autumn forgot to cool off.

The Yankees used their Hall of Fame closer, Goose Gossage, to finish that World Series, and since then, just five starters have gone the distance in the clincher: Scott McGregor, Bret Saberhagen, Orel Hershiser, Jack Morris and Josh Beckett, in 2003.

There's one way to watch the Dodgers in the World Series in person without a game ticket, and it involves booking a hotel room in downtown Toronto.
