Toronto Blue Jays Advance To World Series First Time Since 1993

After a dramatic victory against the Seattle Mariners to win the American League pennant, the Toronto Blue Jays advanced to the World Series for the first time since 1993, sparking jubilant celebrations across downtown Toronto. Fans flooded Front Street near Rogers Centre, dancing, chanting, and sharing high fives, reminiscent of the city's 2019 NBA Finals celebrations. The Jays' win in ALCS Game 7 marked only the second time in franchise history they reached this stage and the first time they secured a Game 7 victory. Players and fans alike shared emotional moments, with star George Springer's late three-run homer proving decisive. Following a season that began with doubts, the team overcame early struggles to win their division and dispatch the New York Yankees before their thrilling series win over Seattle. The Blue Jays now prepare to face the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series starting Friday night at Rogers Centre.
