George Springer just had an incredible October moment.

The Blue Jays designated hitter stepped to the plate in the bottom of the seventh inning with one out, two men on and his team trailing the Mariners 3-1 in Game 7 of the ALCS. They weren't behind for long.

Mariners reliever Eduard Bazardo threw a ball on his first pitch to Springer, then grooved a 96 mph sinker right down the middle. The 36-year-old didn't miss it.

Springer launched the ball 381 feet into the left center field bleachers to give Toronto a 4-3 lead. The crowd at Rogers Centre went absolutely wild.

What a scene. Absolute pandemonium in the stands.

Here's another angle, as you can see the entire crowd knew the ball was gone the moment it came off his bat.

Just an incredible moment as the Blue Jays try to reach their first World Series since 1993.

Springer has been huge for Toronto all season. The 2017 World Series MVP seemed to find the Fountain of Youth in Toronto this season. He hit .309 with 32 home runs and 84 RBIs. Springer's .959 OPS finished fourth in baseball and the 4.8 WAR he racked up was the most he's had since 2019.

Now he has a signature moment in the postseason. What a year.
