Toronto is making MLB history with an aging lineup
The Toronto Blue Jays host the Los Angeles Dodgers for Game 1 World Series tonight. All the talking will end and the boys will play ball.
The Blue Jays have announced their lineup for the series opener. When the game starts, they will become first team ever to start the three sons of former Major Leaguers in a World Series game.
“If Guerrero, Bichet and Warshaw are in the starting lineup, it will be the first time in World Series history that three sons of former players start for one team.”
Bo Bichet is back and playing second base for the Blue Jays. Andre Gimenez has been the shortstop in his absence, but he’s played the position so well that the team doesn’t want to remove him from his dominance. Bichet bats fourth behind Vlad Guerrero Jr. Dalton Warshaw plays in the middle of the field and hits 6. Those three players are the sons of former major leaguers. Of course, Guerrero Jr.’s father is the more notable of the three, who also plays in Canada for the Montreal Expos, and is in the Los Angeles Angels Hall of Fame.
The Blue Jays hope to attack left-handed pitcher Blake Snell with a right-handed hitting lineup. Rookie starter Trey Iesavage will start Game 1 for the Blue Jays.
The game is a few hours away. Winning Game 1 puts you in a great position to keep the momentum going, but if the road team wins one of the first two games, then the team with home field advantage can panic. The Blue Jays must not let the defending champions come into Toronto and steal the lead.
If postseason hero George Springer can give the Blue Jays some early momentum in this series, then they’ll be in a good spot. His postseason numbers are terrifying for opposing pitchers.
