The Toronto Blue Jays lost games one and two of the ALCS by a combined score of 13-4.
They needed something -- anything! -- to get luck on their side.
So on Tuesday Canadian pilot Dimitri Neonakis did this:

From CP24 in Ontario:
Departing from Halifax Standard International Airport at around 11:30 a.m. local time, Neonakis flew his Cirrus SR22 aircraft northeast to recreate the team's icon.
The pilot of 27 years said it was a challenge to draw the logo, sharing how he sketched it first before inputting it onto an aviation app that helps plot his flight path.
It took him two-and-a-half hours to finish the job.
Some words from Mr. Neonakis:
'Oh, well, I love the Blue Jays. Been a fan since 1993, since the early 90s, the Joe Carter era,' Neonakis, 63, told CTV News Toronto on Wednesday. 'I'm not a fanatic fan, I love the Blue Jays, I'm a Canadian, and I support a Canadian team.'
Turns out, Neonakis' flight-path art would be a lucky charm of sorts.
The Blue Jays won Game Three 13-4, which, if you'll remember, is the same combined score they lost games one and two by.
