In this story:

Alejandro Kirk is having an incredible postseason in the Blue Jays' World Series run. Toronto fans are absolutely loving him, especially when he hit his fifth home run of the playoffs in Game 3 vs. the Dodgers on Monday night.

Even though Game 3 is being played in Dodger Stadium, that didn't stop Blue Jays fans from supporting their team from afar. The fans packed Rogers Centre in Toronto on Monday night for an electric watch party. Videos from the event make the atmosphere look like the game was being played in Toronto over Los Angeles based on how hyped the crowd was.

So, when Kirk hit that 394-foot three-run home run in the fourth inning for the Blue Jays to take a 3-2 lead in the game, Blue Jays fans in Toronto erupted in cheers. Fans got on their feet and jumped up and down for the Blue Jays, even though the team was in California.

This video of Rogers Centre is goosebump-worthy, that's for sure.

Blue Jays fans haven't seen their team win a World Series in 32 years, which also was the last time the team appeared in the championship series. This team is bringing back excitement in Toronto for the first time in decades.
