In the end, the comeback team just couldn't muster one more. The Toronto Blue Jays lost Game 7 of the World Series to the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-4 in 11 innings on Saturday in Toronto, marking the Dodgers' second straight championship. In the other dugout, the Blue Jays were vying for their first title in 32 years. But it wasn't to be, as Will Smith's 11th-inning home run to left field ultimately proved to be the difference.
For the first time in 32 years, the Toronto Blue Jays are headed to the World Series. They got there in the most fitting way possible for the comeback kids, rallying from being down 2-0 and 3-2 in the ALCS to win in seven games against the Seattle Mariners. The team that racked up 49 comeback wins during the regular season added three more to their tally in the championship series.
