Baseball fans leave the Rogers Centre following World Series Game 7 between the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers in Toronto, early on Sunday.

Many Toronto Blue Jays fans are set to return to work and school on Monday with lingering sadness as the excitement of the World Series wears down.

The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Jays 5-4 in a tense Saturday Game 7 in front of a sold-out crowd at Toronto’s Rogers Centre.

It was a game that Jays fans were certain would be theirs after Bo Bichette’s three-run homer put the team up in the third inning. But a game-tying home run in the ninth inning by the Dodgers’ Miguel Rojas evened out the score. Then came the winning homer from the Dodgers’ Will Smith in the extra 11th inning.
