AstroTurf® Celebrates 12th World Series Appearance, Strengthening Its Bond with Baseball

AstroTurf® Marks a Historic 12th World Series Appearance

As the countdown to the 2025 World Series begins, AstroTurf® is set to make its 12th appearance in this prestigious event, reinforcing its longstanding connection to professional baseball. With the Toronto Blue Jays returning to the Fall Classic, the AstroTurf Diamond Series system will once again be the foundation for championship play.

AstroTurf's relationship with baseball dates back to its introduction in the mid-1960s. During this time, several World Series champions have played on AstroTurf, with memorable moments etched into the sport’s history. Notably, the entire National League Championship Series in 1975 was conducted on AstroTurf for the first time, leading the Cincinnati Reds to victory and marking the dawn of a new era in baseball.

This year, as the Blue Jays make their third World Series run on AstroTurf, the partnership reflects a legacy of collaboration built over three decades. The evolution of the playing surface at the Rogers Centre—from its earlier days as the SkyDome to the modern Diamond Series—highlights the commitment to quality that AstroTurf embodies. Not only has the Blue Jays franchise demonstrated consistency and performance, but they have also exemplified how innovation can lead to success on the field.

AstroTurf has established itself as the Official Synthetic Turf Partner of Major League Baseball®, thanks to significant initiatives like the Willie Mays Field in Birmingham and the Speedway Classic at Bristol Motor Speedway. These projects underline AstroTurf's dedication to improving the game by ensuring superior playability and quality in the baseball environment.

The ongoing story of AstroTurf showcases its enduring presence in baseball history. For more than 60 years, it has played an essential role in the evolution of the sport, continuously fostering moments that fans cherish. Whether it was witnessing the Big Red Machine or celebrating modern achievements with the Blue Jays, AstroTurf has remained a trusted partner throughout baseball's transitions.
