Canada's MLB team earned a spot in their initial championship series after 1993 by overcoming the Seattle Mariners in the seventh game seven of the American League Championship Series.

Behind by two runs, the star outfielder hit a three-run home run in the seventh, propelling the sole Canadian team in MLB to a 4-3 series victory in the seven-game series. Next up are the Dodgers, the team that is the current crown, in the forthcoming championship.

"I'm just so happy for this squad, the city, our country," Springer stated, a star of the Astros team that claimed the 2017 World Series. "What an incredible feeling."

George Springer has now slugged 23 post-season home runs, making him third all-time trailing only Ramirez (twenty-nine) and Altuve (27).

"There's probably not another person on planet Earth that I'd choose in that moment other than George Springer with his post-season brilliance," noted Blue Jays manager John Schneider.

Seattle, despite leading the early in the series, remain the one club that has never reached in a championship series.

Wilson commented "without a doubt that it's painful" following his team's loss at their home ballpark, but praised their efforts in the campaign.

"This is a unique group. Sadly that we had to come out on the wrong side of this one," he remarked.

The Blue Jays claimed the World Series on each of their earlier trips in the early 90s, and will welcome the Los Angeles in the first game on Friday.
