"After 32 long years, the Toronto Blue Jays are American League champions. Thanks to George Springer, who cemented himself in Toronto history with the biggest hit of his life, his go-ahead three-run home run in the bottom of the seventh inning gave the Blue Jays a 4-3 lead they would not relinquish. The win in Game 7 against the Seattle Mariners gave them the series victory."
"Springer had a magnificent season and Jays Journal thinks he was clearly the Blue Jays' 2025 MVP in the regular season. He came through all season long and then delivered one of the biggest hits in franchise history to help send his team to the World Series. In an ironic twist the path Springer, and the Blue Jays, have taken to get here is very similar to the path he followed when he played in the Lone Star State."
"In the 2017 ALDS the Astros were division champions and didn't have to play in the first round (which at the time was a one game wild card format). They then eliminated a team from the AL East to begin their postseason run, disposing of the Boston Red Sox. Similarly, the 2025 Blue Jays eliminated a team from the AL East, the New York Yankees to start their playoff run."
The Toronto Blue Jays won the American League championship for the first time in 32 years after a 4-3 Game 7 victory over the Seattle Mariners. George Springer hit a go-ahead three-run home run in the bottom of the seventh inning that provided the decisive lead. Springer delivered a strong regular season and was regarded as the Blue Jays' 2025 MVP by Jays Journal. The Blue Jays’ postseason path mirrored Springer's 2017 run with the Houston Astros: both teams eliminated an AL East opponent to open their postseasons and won their AL Championship Series in seven games, with Springer making pivotal plays in each run.
