Drake wore a Rob Ford-inspired jacket to Game 1 of the World Series

Drake paid tribute to former Toronto mayor Rob Ford by wearing a Don Bosco Eagles jacket to Game 1 of the World Series between the Blue Jays and L.A. Dodgers. Ford coached the high school football team for over a decade.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford is reacting to Drake’s decision to wear a letterman jacket inspired by his late brother and former Toronto mayor Rob Ford to Game 1 of the World Series last week, calling the apparent tribute “cool.”

Drake was photographed at the World Series on Friday wearing a green Don Bosco Eagles letterman jacket with the name “R. Ford” stitched in yellow lettering on his right side.

The jacket was similar to the one that Rob Ford was often spotted in while coaching the Etobicoke high school’s varsity football team for more than a decade.

Rob Ford ended up coaching the team for a portion of his mayoral tenure but was dismissed as coach in 2013.

“That was cool. I loved that,” Doug Ford said when asked about Drake’s jacket choice during a press availability on Monday morning at Queen’s Park.

Drake spent his 39th birthday at the Rogers Centre for Game 1 of the World Series and shared a video on his social accounts, in which he said that “the whole city came out” to cheer on the Blue Jays.
