Guests: Game 7 hero George Springer, Game 7 closer Jeff Hoffman For the first time in 32 years, the World Series is coming to Toronto. The Blue Jays won the pennant, dropping the Seattle Mariners 4-3 in a winner-take-all Game 7 of the American League championship series on a dramatic three-run home run by George Springer, bringing them back from a 3-1 deficit. After Springer went deep, Chris Bassitt pitched a perfect eighth and Jeff Hoffman struck out the side in order in the ninth to secure the victory, sending the Jays to the Fall Classic for the first time since 1993. Both Springer and Hoffman join us from the post-game celebrations to talk about the historic win and this incredible Jays team, one that picked up its 101 st win of the season on Monday night and will now take on the reigning champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers, in a World Series that begins at Rogers Centre on Friday night. The mailbag will be back tomorrow, so send your thoughts to deepleftfield@thestar.ca.
