"I can watch an entire movie, I can watch the Clone Wars animation, I can watch the Lego's or the Ahsoka (series). I have a tattoo of Star Wars that I love. It's why I chose the jersey number 30 last year, because my initials are CP, so it would be CP 30, the revers of C-3P0. So, yeah, I love Star Wars."
""I'm a nerd, and I love it," Ponce spoke with Toronto media for the first time since he signed with the club. Discovered he REALLY loves Star Wars. So much so, he watches something from the franchise before every start:#bluejays #starwars https://t.co/vOwzSy4lth pic.twitter.com/Vz17gdaibN- Lindsay Dunn (@LindsayDunnTV) December 17, 2025"
The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the New York Yankees to win the 2025 AL East and aim for a repeat in 2026. Cody Ponce, last year’s KBO MVP, signed with Toronto and is connecting with fans through a down-to-earth demeanor and perseverance stories. Ponce watches something from the Star Wars franchise before every start as a personal pregame ritual. He has a Star Wars tattoo and selected jersey number 30 because CP 30 reverses C-3P0. Visible fandom and approachable players are helping broaden appeal, and teams increasingly stage Star Wars appreciation nights to attract fans.
