The Jonas Brothers have gotten used to being pelted with the expected waves of love and affection during their run of stadiums and arenas this year on their Jonas20: Greetings From Your Hometown tour. But those definitely weren’t just gleeful shouts of “Joe!” after the sibling trio took the field on Saturday (Oct. 24) in the middle of game two of the World Series at Toronto’s Rogers Centre to perform the song “I Can’t Lose” from this year’s Greetings From Your Hometown LP.

In fact, the mid-game performance break at a point when the score was tied 1-1 between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays as part of the annual Stand Up To Cancer tribute kind of ticked off a lot of fans who feared it was messing with the game flow and may have actually been thinking “Noooo!!!”
“If the Jays lose it’s entirely on that weird Jonas Brothers performance in the middle of the game,” one incensed fan wrote on X, with another adding, “I’m trying to watch the World Series and they doing a damn Jonas Brothers concert after the 5th inning.”
Joe Jonas heard you and the singer had the perfect response to the chorus of concern in the comments on a Major League Baseball post featuring a still pic and a video of the siblings posing on the field with the caption, “SPEECHLESS, OVER THE EDGE, JUST BREATHLESS.” Joe seemed to humorously sympathize with the confusion, commenting, “Why these guys?“
Self-deprecation aside, there were plenty of fans there to support him, with a number commenting on his comment, with one writing, “@joejonas Because they are the boys with the most beautiful soul in the world” and another adding, “@joejonas cause they’re awesome.”
MLB has been hosting the Stand Up to Cancer tribute since 2009 in which people in attendance at games hold up placards honoring those who’ve been impacted by cancer. The JoBros dedicated “I Can’t Lose” — which was the official anthem of ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball coverage, with a video in support of the charity airing during July’s MLB All-Star game — to “everyone standing up to cancer.” Joe also kicked off the performance by holding up a placard for their dad, Kevin Jonas Sr., who was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2017.
The band’s 20th anniversary tour continues on Monday night with the second of two shows at Orlando’s Kia Center.
