Last night will live with me forever. The Toronto Blue Jays clinched a thrilling 4-3 Game 7 victory over the Seattle Mariners, securing their first World Series since 1993. Canada’s team isn’t just back in October, we’re delivering in October!
The Moment We’ll Never Forget
It all came down to the seventh inning. With the game tied and tension thick in the air, veteran outfielder George Springer stepped to the plate and smashed a three-run homer that swung the momentum completely in Toronto’s favour. Pure drama. Pure Blue Jays. Pure goosebumps.
Throughout the night, this team showed grit. The pitching held when it mattered. The defence made the plays. The lineup produced just enough, and all that added up to a moment not just for Toronto, but for Canada’s baseball fans everywhere.
What’s Next & Why It Matters
Here’s where we stand and where we’re going:
- The Blue Jays will face the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series.
- Game 1 is set for Friday, October 24, right here at Toronto’s Rogers Centre.
- Toronto has home advantage: Games 1, 2, 6 & 7 (if needed) will be played in Toronto; Games 3, 4, and possibly 5 will be played in Los Angeles.
- This is huge for a franchise that has been waiting for decades. The magnitude right now is so real.
From a Long-Time Fan’s Heart
I’ve waited through near-misses. Watched seasons where hope flickered, but the finish line moved farther and farther away, but last night? It felt like a door had finally opened. I cheered until my voice was gone, and I smiled because this moment isn’t just for the players, it’s for every single Blue Jays fan who believed when others doubted.
Hosting the World Series in Toronto feels electric. It feels right. The city is alive with possibility. The fans deserve this, and this team really earned it.
So to every die-hard Blue Jays fan reading this, wear your gear loud and proud, and bring your voice because the journey isn’t over. The biggest stage is now, and we’re ready to write history!
👏 Go Jays Go 👏
