George Springer topped them all with a come-from-behind moment that will go down as one of the biggest homers in franchise history.
Springer hit a go-ahead three-run shot in the seventh inning and closer Jeff Hoffman struck out the side in the ninth to lift the Blue Jays to a dramatic 4-3 win over the Seattle Mariners on Monday night.
The victory gave Toronto its first AL pennant since 1993 and a berth in the World Series starting Friday against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Very excited. Go Jays!
What a wild game. When the Mariners hit that home run to pull ahead 3 to 1, it felt like you could hear a pin drop in Rogers Centre. The crowd energy was all anxiety for the next few innings.
They started winning right after I stopped watching. I think some of the credit should go to me.
