George Springer on verge of leapfrogging Phillies' Kyle Schwarber during World Series

The Major League Baseball postseason is truly a wonder. With the feeling of the crisp fall air mixed in with the crowd hanging on every pitch, it showcases the best athletes the sport has to offer in the biggest moments.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer had his moment in Game 7 of the ALCS when he hit a go-ahead three-run home run. That shot in the seventh inning sealed his team's destiny for their first World Series berth since 1993.

Springer's home run was not only an iconic moment, but it also put him in company with Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber.
