The Jays celebrate their win taking them to the World Series |
Blue Jays fans never stopped believing and the team pulled through in Game 7 to beat the Seattle Mariners 4-3 to win the American League Championship Series and head to the World Series for the first time in 32 years.
Going into this game was a nail biter, with the Mariners and Jays with three games each and it was a question of who was going to blink first.
Seattle was first out of the gate, with 1-0 then 2-1 and 3-1 by the top of the seventh inning. It was not looking good for the Jays, with thousands of fans watching in Rogers Centre in Toronto.

Toronto beat the Mariners in Game 7 |
"There's probably not another person on planet Earth that I want up other than George Springer and his October magic," said Blue Jays manager John Schneider, remarking on the home run that was the game-changer tonight.
This series was not going well for the Jays either, as they were down 0-2 and had to claw their way back -- in Seattle -- to make it 2-2, then 3-2 before the Mariners tied it in the sixth game. Before Seattle, the Jays beat the New York Yankees.
Now the Jays will meet the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series -- with the formidable Shohei Ohtani to beat.
For now the fans -- across Canada -- are ecstatic and excited to see their Canadian team in the World Series.
