During the Toronto Blue Jays’ playoff journey, 10-year-old Hugo and 8-year-old Meredith Fu have been diligently seeking answers to burning questions from Blue Jays enthusiasts. In a recent video on their Instagram page, Meredith asked Blue Jays outfielder Davis Schneider about the longevity of his mustache, to which Schneider replied that he would keep it as long as the team kept winning.
Throughout the postseason, the siblings have had the privilege of conducting face-to-face interviews with notable Blue Jays players like ACLS MVP Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and pitcher Kevin Gausman. Their interviews have not been limited to Blue Jays players as they have also engaged with stars from various MLB teams.
Meredith shared with As It Happens host Nil Koksal that the experience has been immensely enjoyable. They have delved into players’ game strategies, personal advice, and even learned about embracing failures from pitcher Chris Bassitt.
Their interviewing routine involves meticulous preparation the night before a game, including fact-checking and jotting down information from the official MLB app. The siblings express their delight in interviewing their idols, especially as the Blue Jays advance to the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
One memorable interview for Meredith was with Blue Jays pitcher Chris Bassitt, who emphasized the value of learning from failures. As the Blue Jays gear up for the World Series, Hugo encourages the team not to lose hope and reminds them of their hard work and determination.
The siblings’ passion for interviewing players has been a long-standing dream, which has now culminated in the Blue Jays’ historic World Series appearance. Hugo expressed his elation, mentioning that he felt like levitating when the team secured victory.
