Kerr’s note reframes Jays’ heartbreak as fuel for the future
Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider found a handwritten letter from Steve Kerr on his desk the day after Toronto’s Game 7 loss in the 2025 World Series. Kerr, a nine-time NBA champion, commiserated on the pain of defeat while praising the team’s leadership and urging that perseverance, not the loss, define them. Schneider said Kerr’s words align with his offseason message and plans to thank Kerr, using the note to help steer the Jays toward future success rather than dwelling on 2025.
