Blue Jays fans booed Shohei Ohtani before their 11-4 World Series win, fueled by his 2024 departure to the Dodgers.

Toronto Blue Jays fans booed Shohei Ohtani during pre-game introductions for Game 1 of the 2025 World Series, fueled by frustration over his 2024 free-agent departure to the Dodgers. Despite Ohtani hitting a World Series home run and drawing a walk, the Blue Jays won 11-4, scoring nine runs in the sixth inning highlighted by Addison Barger’s pinch-hit grand slam. Fans chanted “We don’t need you,” referencing Ohtani’s prior visit to Toronto and a lighthearted exchange about a returned hat and jacket. The victory gave Toronto a 1-0 series lead, with Games 2, 6, and potentially 7 set for Rogers Centre.
