The Toronto Blue Jays are set to make history as they face the Los Angeles Dodgers in World Series Game 7, with veteran pitcher Max Scherzer taking the mound for what may be his final regular-season appearance. Scherzer, a three-time Cy Young Award winner and future Hall of Famer, will pitch in front of the home crowd, marking a pivotal moment for both the team and the 41-year-old legend.
This game will be the 28th postseason start of Scherzer’s career, with six of them in World Series games, including two Game 7s. He has the remarkable distinction of being only the fourth pitcher in Major League Baseball history to start multiple World Series Game 7s, joining legends like Bob Gibson, Lew Burdette, and Don Larsen. Scherzer’s performance in this crucial game not only has implications for the Blue Jays’ quest for their first title in 29 years, but it also has the potential to solidify his legacy as one of the greatest pitchers of all time.
Scherzer has not announced his future intentions, but if he can lead the Blue Jays to victory, he could end his career as a Toronto hero, despite his short tenure with the franchise. The Blue Jays’ fans, starving for their first title since 1993, will be eager to see if the veteran pitcher can deliver the win they have longed for. In the coming days, the world will be watching to see if Scherzer’s final game can be the start of a historic chapter for the Blue Jays.
