🔗 Share this article Toronto Blue Jays Secure Fall Classic Meeting Versus Los Angeles Dodgers George Springer was instrumental for the Astros winning the World Series in 2017. Canada's MLB team earned a spot in their initial World Series following 1993 by overcoming the Seattle Mariners in the final Game 7 of the American League Championship Series. Down three runs to one, outfielder George Springer hit a three-run home run in the seventh frame, leading the Toronto squad in MLB to a four games to three triumph in the series. They will now face the Los Angeles Dodgers, the team that is the reigning title, in the forthcoming Fall Classic. "I'm just so happy for everyone here, Toronto, Canada," commented Springer, an integral part of the Astros team that claimed the 2017 World Series. "It's truly an amazing experience." George Springer has now hit 23 total playoff homers, making him third all-time behind Ramirez (29) and Altuve (twenty-seven). "I can't think of another player in the world that I'd prefer in that situation except for George Springer with his post-season brilliance," said Schneider. Seattle's team, after leading the series 2-0 and 3-2, are still the sole team that has never reached in a World Series. Wilson stated "certainly that it's going to sting" after his club's elimination at Rogers Centre, but praised their work in the campaign. "It's a special team. It's a shame that we had to come out on the losing end of the series," he continued. Toronto won the title on both previous visits in 1992 and 1993, and are set to host the Dodgers in game one on Friday.
