Meghan Roach, the CEO of Roots, found herself in an unexpected spotlight during the World Series clinching game when she caught Bo Bichette’s home run ball in the third inning. The exciting moment unfolded in Section 148 at Rogers Centre, just a stone’s throw away from the centre-field wall.
As the sellout crowd roared with excitement during the intense Game 7, Roach seized the opportunity when the ball dropped at her feet. Bichette’s three-run homer marked a significant milestone in his playoff career, propelling the Blue Jays to a 3-0 lead and igniting a frenzy among fans inside the stadium.
Describing the experience as “overwhelming,” Roach shared her joy at securing the prized baseball. “It fell right in front of my feet, and I literally just picked it up,” she recounted. Eager to share the moment with her two daughters, Roach expressed her excitement about bringing the ball home.
A devoted Blue Jays fan, Roach attended the game with her siblings, rooting for the team to emerge victorious in Game 7. In the meantime, she keeps the cherished home run ball close, storing it securely in her pocket as a personal memento of the unforgettable moment.
