Toronto Blue Jays Claim Fall Classic Matchup With defending champion Dodgers
The outfielder previously helped the Houston Astros securing the World Series in 2017.
Canada's MLB team advanced to their initial World Series after 1993 by beating the Seattle Mariners in the seventh game seven of the ALCS.
Trailing three runs to one, Springer hit a three-run homer in the seventh frame, propelling the Toronto squad in the majors to a 4-3 series triumph in the series. Awaiting them are the defending champions, who are the defending champions, in the upcoming Fall Classic.
"I'm thrilled for everyone here, our city, our country," Springer stated, a star of the Houston Astros team that won the 2017 championship. "What an unbelievable moment."
George Springer has now connected for 23 post-season home runs, making him third all-time trailing only Manny Ramirez (29) and Jose Altuve (27).
"I can't think of another person on planet Earth that I'd prefer in that spot other than George Springer with his post-season brilliance," remarked Schneider.
The Mariners, after leading the early in the series, continue to be the only MLB franchise never to appear in a Fall Classic.
Wilson stated "there's no question that it's going to sting" in the wake of his team's loss at their home ballpark, but praised their performance throughout the year.
"It's a special team. It's a shame that we ended up on the losing end of the series," he added.
Toronto's team won the World Series on their two prior appearances in 1992 and '93, and are set to host the Los Angeles in game one on the upcoming Friday.
