Toronto is buzzing as the Maple Leafs were spotted celebrating at Rogers Centre on Monday night as the Blue Jays clinched their first World Series berth since 1993.
In one of the most anticipated baseball games in recent memory, the Toronto Maple Leafs took on the Seattle Mariners in Game 7 of the ALCS, with the do-or-die game sending either Toronto to their first World Series since '93, and the Mariners to their first World Series ever.
Coming down to the wire, George Springer instantly became a Canadian hero a decade after Jose Bautista did the exact same thing.
It was a moment that became iconic the second it happened, and after a strong effort from Jeff Hoffman and the rest of the Blue Jays; it came down to a full count in the 9th.
What happened next was pure magic:
Hoffman struck out the side, finishing off Julio Rodriguez to seal the deal and send Rogers Centre into a frenzy.

There may have been a player or two hidden in the crowd, but hilariously it was the Maple Leafs' social media manager who was able to covertly cover the game.
The team has showed a lot of love to the Blue Jays all throughout the playoffs, showing the unity of both of Toronto's major sports teams:

The Blue Jays also paid some love to the Maple Leafs when they were going into Game 7 against the Florida Panthers last year:
The fans were ecstatic about the win, and it wasn't long before we saw those obvious comparisons between the two Game 7 outcomes:
So with the Toronto Blue Jays now set to take on the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday, maybe the Maple Leafs can ride that momentum and accomplish some championship aspirations of their own.
