For 32 long years, Canadian baseball fans have waited for this moment — and thanks to George Springer’s clutch swing, the wait is finally over.
In an unforgettable Game 7 at Rogers Centre, the veteran outfielder delivered one of the biggest home runs in Blue Jays history — a towering three-run blast in the bottom of the seventh that helped send Toronto back to the World Series for the first time since 1993.
As the ball cleared the wall, it felt like a nation exhaled. From downtown Toronto to small-town Saskatchewan, from the Maritimes to the North, Canadians erupted together — a coast-to-coast celebration decades in the making.
This team, led by stars like Springer, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette, and anchored by the arms of Kevin Gausman, Jeff Hoffman and youngster Trey Yesavage has brought belief back to Blue Jays baseball. They’ve battled through inconsistency, criticism, and injury to earn their place on the biggest stage.
Now, the challenge only grows: the powerhouse Los Angeles Dodgers await — a matchup of Hollywood lights against northern grit. The Dodgers may have the payroll and pedigree, but the Blue Jays have momentum, unity, and the heart of a country behind them.
The Rogers Centre will be electric. Streets will overflow with fans in blue and white. And from living rooms across the country, a nation will rally once more behind the words: “OK Blue Jays, let’s play ball.”
After three decades of waiting, the magic is back and now, the Toronto Blue Jays are just four wins away from becoming World Series champions once again
