“Especially after the last couple wins, we’ve been selling a ton of jerseys, t-shirts, hats,” she said.

With respect to specific players, Mattice said Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and George Springer are in big demand.

“I don’t have anything available to me now with any names and numbers other than Bichette, but yeah I’ve sold out of almost all the jerseys. It’s crazy,:” she said.

Added to the excitement is the fact the Saskatchewan Roughriders are also playing well.

“It’s definitely picked up business. The last few years were quite slow with sales, so of course this year, there’s no stock available because they’re doing so well, they’ve sold out.”
