The Blue Jays got the last ticket to the 2025 World Series after coming from behind to beat the Seattle Mariners in Game 7. The victory was not only celebrated by the Toronto players, but also by Canadian rapper Drake, who posted a video on his social media celebrating his team’s victory, as they will face the Los Angeles Dodgers for the baseball championship.
During the game, George Springer emulated some of the most memorable scenes of all time in baseball when, in the seventh inning and down by two runs, he hit the home run that turned the scoreboard around and led the Toronto Blue Jays to an electrifying 4-3 victory over the Seattle Mariners in Game 7. The Canadian team had not qualified for a Fall Classic since 1993, and it took them 32 years to return to this stage.

Canadian rapper and Toronto fan Drake celebrated the franchise’s thrilling 4-3 victory in the decisive game of the American League Championship Series against Seattle.

When the Blue Jays pulled off a comeback victory after the strikeout, the Canadian rapper was seen screaming and jumping for joy.
