"Today, the 2025 MLB Postseason starts for the AL East champion Toronto Blue Jays as they get set to clash with the New York Yankees in the ALDS. Despite being division rivals for decades, 2025 is the first time ever that the Blue Jays will meet the Yankees in the postseason. The wait for the two teams to meet in the postseason has been long overdue."
"During the top of the sixth inning, Aaron Judge hit a solo home run. Blue Jays fan Michael Lanzillotta grabbed the ball off the ground and handed it to a 9-year-old Yankee fan named Derek Rodriguez who was wearing a Judge shirt. Once the Blue Jays fan handed the ball to him, Rodriguez got emotional and cried. He hugged Lanzillotta who was able to give the young fan a moment he will never forget."
"This past Canada Day, the Blue Jays hosted the Yankees in front of a packed crowd in Toronto. This series was pivotal to help the Blue Jays start their momentum toward winning the AL East in 2025 and it all really got rolling thanks to George Springer. With the Blue Jays up 5-4, Springer hit a grand slam to give the Blue Jays full control of the game. The grand slam was Springer's second home run of the game"
Today marks the start of the 2025 MLB Postseason as the AL East champion Toronto Blue Jays face the New York Yankees in the ALDS, the first-ever postseason meeting between the two teams. The Blue Jays and Yankees have shared a division rivalry for decades, though it has not reached the intensity of the Yankees–Red Sox rivalry. Memorable moments between the clubs include a 2022 fan exchange after an Aaron Judge home run and George Springer’s Canada Day grand slam that helped Toronto sweep the Yankees, seize first place in the division, and build momentum en route to the AL East title.
