From his home in suburban Detroit, baseball Hall of Famer and former Blue Jays’ longtime general manager Pat Gillick, like millions of other baseball fans in the United States and Canada, is watching the World Series.

Gillick spoke to The Epoch Times on Sunday as the Series shifted from Toronto’s Rogers Centre to Southern California for Game 3 at Dodger Stadium. With the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers tied at one game each in the best-of-seven series, buzz is lingering among MLB fans over the pitching performance on Saturday by Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
