US EditionThe Toronto Blue Jays Take Aim at America's Pastime as Canada-US Relations Remain Broken
George Springer's three-run homer clinched the Blue Jays' ALCS victory, ending a 30-year World Series drought and marking a key moment in their 9-1 playoff run.
- On Monday, October 20, 2025, George Springer, 36, hit a seventh-inning three-run home run in Game Seven of the American League Championship Series, propelling the Toronto Blue Jays to a 4-3 win and their first World Series berth in over 30 years.
- This year, George Springer was asked to play less in the field, sparking a resurgence at the plate after joining the Toronto Blue Jays as a free agent in 2021.
- The blast drew comparisons to franchise legends Jose Bautista and Joe Carter, while the Blue Jays locker room turned raucous with shirtless celebrations and champagne scenes.
- The Blue Jays will now meet the Los Angeles Dodgers, with Game 1 set for Friday, October 24, in Toronto, and have already shed their reputation for October shortcomings.
- Despite that, Toronto's playoff record — 10 games with one loss — gives them a chance despite Los Angeles Dodgers’ stronger starting pitchers and Shohei Ohtani’s dominant NLCS Game 4 showing.
