Nobody in the Blue Jays’ lineup for Game 5 of the World Series, an emphatic 6-1 thumping of the Dodgers, was alive in 1993.
The Toronto Blue Jays didn't expect much from pitcher Trey Yesavage at the start of the 2025 MLB season. Sure, some thought he was a back-end top-100 prospect, but he had yet to pitch a single inning in the minors. Merely surviving in A-ball would have been a successful year.
Of course, there was also the superstar, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., with a home run right after Schneider. It was the first time in history that a team hit back-to-back home runs to start a World Series game. Snell had never given up two first-inning home runs in his career previously, so it was a double dose of history.
