The boys were pictured sporting Blue Jays division champion hats and waving around towels in celebration from their box seats.
Of course, fans on social media were quick to joke about the Leafs’ penchant for falling apart in the playoffs — just as the Blue Jays’ big lead began to slip away against the Bronx Bombers.
Since this was tweeted, the Yanks have scored 7 runs. 🤦🏾♂️

“Since this was tweeted, the Yanks have scored 7 runs,” one user replied with a facepalm emoji.
It should also be noted that in the Leafs’ final pre-season game on Saturday night in Detroit, they blew a two-goal lead in the third period to the Red Wings and lost the game in overtime.

The Leafs also famously blew a do-or-die playoff game in 2013 against the Boston Bruins despite leading 4-1 in the third period.
The Blue Jays were able to hang on for a comfortable 13-7 win on Sunday and now take a two-game lead to the Bronx with a chance to complete the sweep on Tuesday night.
The Leafs will be opening their regular season on Wednesday night against the Montreal Canadiens with hopes of some playoff success to mirror their neighbours at the downtown dome.
