It's time to celebrate with Toronto: The Blue Jays are headed to the ALCS

Celebrate with Blue Jays as they head to the ALCS

The last time the Blue Jays won a series in the postseason was on Oct. 23, 1993. And on that day, a pretty big three-run home run gave them the victory at home. 

Twenty-two years later, it was another three-run home run -- this time from Jose Bautista -- that gave the Blue Jays a 6-3 victory. His epic bat flip to end all bat flips was just the start of the celebration. 

After coming from behind twice, the team showed no shortage of emotion once Roberto Osuna struck out Will Venable to end the game.

Toronto fans better get ready for more cheering, though: Their American League Championship Series against the Royals starts up on Friday night at 7:30 p.m. ET on FOX and Sportsnet.
