In an epic seven-game battle in the ALCS, it was George Springer’s go-ahead three-run home run in Game 7 in Toronto that helped secure the Blue Jays’ first World Series appearance since 1993.

Michael Angeletti says he had never brought a glove to a baseball game before Monday night, when he caught the home run ball that would win the Blue Jays the American League pennant, sending the team to the World Series.

Sprinter’s home run brought Houston fans more than just nostalgia on Monday. He also eliminated the Astros’ bitter rival, the Seattle Mariners, whose fans cheered after Springer was hit by a pitch in Game 5. Seattle is now vanquished, and another Astros rival now awaits the Blue Jays in the World Series--the Los Angeles Dodgers.

George Springer’s seventh-inning homer lifts Jays past Mariners 4-3, sending Toronto to its first World Series in 32 years.
