No, your eyes weren’t deceiving you, Jays fans. That was Colonel Sanders behind the plate.
A man looking very much like founder of KFC, right down the white suit, hair, mustache and Van Dyke beard, was seen sitting behind home plate during Saturday night’s Game 2 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The colonel became a viral sensation during the game as fans took to social media, theorizing about who the mysterious man was.
“I can’t tell if last night was a fever dream or not, but apparently the biggest X factors in World Series Game 2 were Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Colonel Sanders and the Jonas Brothers,” posted @BlueJayHunter on X.
“Hey hey hey, Temu Colonel Sanders doesn’t count,” posted @2oldtorocknroll.
Still others blamed his appearance for the Jays loss, referencing the Curse of the Colonel, a Japanese urban legend that suggests the colonel’s ghost placed a curse on the Hanshin Tigers baseball team.
“Forget about the Jonas Brothers we all know it was the Colonel Sanders curse,” posted @GerryBrown20.
The Jonas Brothers performed a song after the fifth inning in another celebrity appearance during Saturday’s game that took some by surprise. The performance was announced the day before.
