Canada's Blue Jays Secure World Series Meeting Against the Dodgers
Springer previously helped the Houston Astros claiming the championship in 2017.
Canada's MLB team reached their maiden Fall Classic since the 1993 season by beating the Seattle Mariners in the final Game 7 of the AL Championship Series.
Behind 3-1, the star outfielder delivered a three-run homer in the seventh, propelling the sole Canadian team in MLB to a 4-3 series triumph in the best-of-seven series. They will now face the defending champions, holders of the current crown, in the upcoming championship.
"I'm just so happy for our team, the city, the nation," Springer stated, a key player of the Houston Astros team that secured the 2017 title. "What an incredible feeling."
Springer has now hit 23 October home runs, making him third on the list behind Ramirez (twenty-nine) and Altuve (twenty-seven).
"There's probably not anyone else anywhere that I want up in that moment besides him with his post-season brilliance," noted manager John Schneider.
The Mariners, who had led the series two games to none and three games to two, are still the one club yet to make an appearance in a Fall Classic.
Mariners manager Dan Wilson commented "certainly that it's painful" following his side's defeat at their home ballpark, but praised their performance throughout the year.
"They're an exceptional squad. Unfortunately that we had to come out on the losing end of this one," he added.
Toronto secured the World Series on their two prior appearances in the early 90s, and will welcome the Los Angeles in the first game on this Friday.
