Davis Schneider Opens His Couch—and His Heart—for World Series Hero Addison Barger
So, here’s a fun one from the Toronto Blue Jays’ World Series run. You might think that after hitting one of the most clutch home runs in baseball history—a pinch-hit grand slam in Game 1—Addison Barger would be sleeping like a king in some fancy suite. But nope, the man literally woke up on Davis Schneider’s pull-out couch. Again.
Yeah, you heard that right. Schneider, who’s Barger’s close friend and teammate, said it himself with a laugh: “I thought he was going to have his own place, but he was like, ‘Can I sleep with you again?’ So I said, ‘Sure. Might as well.’” Apparently, this is not the first time Barger’s crashed at his place, and it’s become kind of a running joke between the two.

Of course, Schneider admitted this might’ve been a slightly tougher sell to his girlfriend—after all, how often do you invite your buddy to sleep on the couch during the World Series ? But, according to Schneider, she didn’t mind. “She’s cool with it,” he said. “Plus, it’s Barger. He doesn’t really talk that much anyways.” That little comment just adds to the whole charm of the situation—two young teammates keeping things light and grounded in the middle of the sport’s biggest stage.
Apparently, Barger snores a bit too. But Schneider laughed that off as well, saying Barger can snore all he wants if he keeps producing moments like that grand slam. And honestly, who can argue with that? When your buddy helps deliver one of the biggest wins in franchise history, you let him have the couch.
Now, with Game 2 wrapped up, the Blue Jays are heading to Los Angeles for the next part of the series. They’ll have a workout day before continuing their championship push on the West Coast. And while Schneider is hoping they only need to come back to Toronto for a World Series parade—and not for Games 6 or 7—he’s also drawing a line on the sleepover tradition.
“He’s not staying with me in L.A.,” Schneider said with a grin. “The Blue Jays pay for our hotel rooms, so he’s not staying with me.”
It’s moments like these that remind everyone baseball isn’t just about stats and highlights—it’s about friendships, quirky traditions, and the joy that comes with the grind. Even in the middle of the World Series, the Blue Jays’ clubhouse feels like one big family—one that apparently shares couches, laughter, and a few snores along the way.
