The Toronto Blue Jays are going to their first appearance in the World Series in 32 years, thanks in large part to the Game 7 heroics of George Springer on Monday. With everything on the line, Toronto jumped in front of the Seattle Mariners in the seventh inning, where Springer launched a go-ahead three-run home run that put the Blue Jays ahead, 4-3.

Springer took a ball on the first pitch he saw in that at-bat against Seattle reliever Eduard Bazardo , who was called in from the bullpen to replace Bryan Woo . Just like his first offering, Bazardo threw a sinker; this time, the pitch went straight into the middle of the strike zone and was met by Springer's bat for a home run that went 381 feet deep.
The pop inside Rogers Centre from over 44,000 fans in attendance reverberated with such force that anyone who saw the video from anywhere outside the building would feel like they were inside it.
FOX Sports also shared a video of the entire at-bat where Springer hit the home run, minus the audio — just pure baseball atmosphere in a high-stakes, winner-take-all Game 7.
Many fans online were left astounded not just by Springer's tater but also by the simple but powerful way the video captured the moment.

Springer will look to keep it going against Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2025 World Series, which begins this Friday at Rogers Centre.
