The Jonas Brothers almost brought down T-Mobile Park with this sentimental performance to begin Game 2 of the 2025 World Series. This landmark event was held at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario on October 25th. The final score of that game was a dramatic opening-day clash between the favored Los Angeles Dodgers and the young upstart Toronto Blue Jays. Their performance stole the scene and helped the series to one of its most memorable moments. It became a live art auction to further tribute Stand Up To Cancer’s mission.
The brothers even played their original song “I Can’t Lose” after the fifth inning. Unlike a regular halftime performance, this particular production was an apex performance that proved to be worthy of the event’s special circumstances. During their tribute, players, coaches, and fans joined the Jonas Brothers in holding up signs to honor loved ones affected by cancer, creating an emotional atmosphere within the stadium.
Even Major League Baseball decided to hop on Instagram to highlight the hype. Along with this amazing video and photo showing Nick, Joe, and Kevin Jonas as they prepared for the big night. Fans expressed mixed reactions to the performance. Some fans loved the emotional farewell, while others were confused as to why it would take place during the MLB game.
To clear up the confusion Joe Jonas went straight to the source by replying to fans’ comments. He clarified,
“Sorry this isn’t the Super Bowl, there is no half time show.” – Joe Jonas
One fan on the MLB Instagram announcement of the award called Judge’s performance “stupid.” This highlights the polarized views from baseball fans on if performances like this are acceptable during a World Series game or not.
Performing at the 2014 VMA’s, the Jonas Brothers paid tribute to cancer victims. For added effect, they held up a sign that honored their father, Kevin Jonas Sr., making their tribute even more personal. This emotional connection struck a chord with many of the attendees, and was a beautiful reminder of the effect cancer can have on families.
Game 3 of the series isn’t far off, getting underway in the City of Angels on October 27th. Momentum continues to build as fans recognize the exciting baseball rivalry and the crucial battle to raise awareness for cancer research. The Jonas Brothers’ involvement has added a unique layer to this year’s World Series, merging sports with a powerful cause.
