Digest more
In Rob Dowling's 31 seasons as the head coach at Avon Old Farms, New Britain's George Springer is his first major league player.
Despite holding passports from other nations, many Blue Jays players and coaches have an adopted national pride.
Springer has been huge for Toronto all season. The 2017 World Series MVP seemed to find the Fountain of Youth in Toronto this season. He hit .309 with 32 home runs and 84 RBIs. Springer's .959 OPS finished fourth in baseball and the 4.8 WAR he racked up was the most he's had since 2019.
