Blue Jays manager says pitcher Yesavage is raising ceiling for team

Schneider hails Yesavage’s impact after dominant performance puts Blue Jays on brink of title.

The best words in sports are Game 7, and tonight’s World Series winner-take-all featuring the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays could be one of the best.

The Dodgers, making their eighth World Series Game 7 appearance, are attempting to become the first team since 2000 to repeat as champions. The New York Yankees were the last to accomplish the feat, finishing off their three-peat with a five-game domination of the Mets in the Subway Series.

Overall, there have been 40 Game 7s in World Series history, including a rare Game 8 in 1912 because of a tie in the second game of the series.

Here are the results of every World Series Game 7 in Major League Baseball’s history:
