The presence of the baseball great reminded fans of his remarkable career: after receiving a basketball scholarship to the University of Cincinnati in 1953, Koufax shifted to baseball and became one of the most dominant left-handed pitchers in history, winning multiple Cy Young Awards and cementing his legacy with the Dodgers before retiring at just 30 due to elbow arthritis. The couple’s choice of team loyalty sparked discussion online as well. While Meghan cheered on the Dodgers, some social media users pointed out the Canadian connection, joking that the royal couple “should’ve worn Blue Jays caps” given Prince Harry’s family ties to Canada as the symbolic head of the Commonwealth there. Others expressed disappointment over the perceived lack of attention to Canadian heritage, noting that the royal family plays a significant role in Canada’s history and culture.
