Blue Jays Break Drought, Punch Ticket to World Series After Thrilling Game 7 Win

                                            George Springer reacts to a home run.

For the first time since 1993, the Toronto Blue Jays are headed back to the World Series. In a nail-biting Game 7 of the American League Championship Series, the Jays edged out the Seattle Mariners 4–3, sending a packed Rogers Centre into a frenzy and ending a 32-year wait for another shot at baseball’s ultimate prize.

Toronto’s offense struck early, but it was the bullpen that sealed the deal, shutting down a late Mariners rally in the final innings. The decisive moment came in the eighth, when a clutch RBI double gave the Jays the lead they would not relinquish.

The victory marks a historic milestone for a franchise that has endured decades of near-misses and rebuilding seasons. Fans who grew up hearing stories of Joe Carter’s legendary walk-off in 1993 now have a new October memory to cherish.

The Blue Jays will now face the National League champions in the Fall Classic, carrying the hopes of an entire nation eager to see the World Series trophy return north of the border.
