Some MLB followers had been caught off guard Saturday when the Jonas Brothers took the stage halfway by way of the Dodgers' eventual Recreation 2 win over the Blue Jays within the World Collection.
Performing “I Can't Lose” as a part of the “Stand As much as Most cancers” initiative, through which gamers, personnel and spectators maintain up placards to pay tribute to these impacted by most cancers, the pop trio was featured after the fifth inning — with the rating tied at one apiece — leading to some on social media expressing bewilderment over the timing of the in-game present, not the marketing campaign itself.
“As touching as this second was… doing it in the course of the World Collection Recreation 2 tie sport?? After which randomly have the Jonas Brothers sing???” an X person posted.
“Jonas Brothers taking part in in between innings of the World Collection was not on my bingo card,” one other person wrote on X.
Whereas one X person supplied readability on the second in query, they too thought the looks from the JoBros was “tremendous random.”
“For anybody questioning, that wasn't new. The MLB does this ‘stand as much as Most cancers' intermission on the All-Star video games and sooner or later throughout the #WorldSeries,” X person @JacobPacheco6 wrote alongside a snap from an identical prevalence on the MLB All-Star Recreation in July. “Touching second. However the Jonas Brothers was tremendous random.”
The in-stadium “Stand As much as Most cancers” placard second has been an MLB tradition for years, per the league's official web site.
The Jonas Brothers, comprised of siblings Kevin Jonas, 37, Joe Jonas, 36, and Nick Jonas, 33, honored their father, Kevin Jonas Sr., a most cancers survivor.
The Dodgers, who had been walloped 11-4 in Recreation 1, closed out the second sport in Toronto with a 5-1 victory on the Rogers Centre.
Star pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto struck out eight in his second consecutive full sport.
Recreation 3 of the World Collection will get underway Monday in Los Angeles.
