Maple Leafs, Raptors move game times around Blue Jays' World Series games

TORONTO -- This is the Blue Jays’ city now. We’re all just living in it.

With the Blue Jays advancing to the World Series for the first time since 1993, a couple of their neighbors are stepping aside. The Maple Leafs and Raptors, in the early days of the NHL and NBA seasons, respectively, announced together Wednesday that they would be adjusting their game times around the Blue Jays.

They’re calling it “the biggest doubleheader in city history,” teeing up their games before the Blue Jays’ World Series games against the Dodgers (which all start at 8 p.m. ET ) and inviting fans to stay afterwards to watch the baseball on the big screen at Scotiabank Arena.
