Ex-Blue Jays fan favorite has fervent defense of controversial IKF World Series play

The 2025 World Series has about a million different scenarios where players and fans are going to second guess the decisions that were made as the Toronto Blue Jays lost Game 7 of the series in a 5-4 defeat to the Dodgers in 11 innings. One of those scenarios that is drawing a lot of attention is Blue Jays utility infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa's late slide into home plate on a groundball that was hit to second base.

Kiner-Falefa was less than an inch away from the plate when Dodgers catcher Will Smith's foot touched home, just on the corner of the plate, to secure the force out on the play.
