Blue Jays' John Schneider reveals emotions ahead of Game 7 vs. Mariners image

The Toronto Blue Jays and Seattle Mariners will play Game 7 of the American League Championship Series on Monday night at Rogers Centre.

Game 7 is one of the greatest atmospheres in sports, and the Rogers Centre will certainly be rocking on Toronto on Monday night.

It will be the Blue Jays first Game 7 in 40 years, and they're seeking their first World Series appearance since 1993. The Mariners have never played in the World Series.

John Schneider reveals Game 7 emotions

Blue Jays' manager John Schneider met with the media on Monday afternoon prior to one of the biggest game's in franchise history, and he revealed the emotions he's feeling ahead of the game.

"Game 7 of anything is just the best. I would watch Game 7 of curling if there was one," Schneider said. "Game 7 is awesome because it’s where you have lifelong memories and there’s going to be a spot that makes you say, 'Holy shit.'"

There's been plenty of those moments throughout the ALCS already, and there will no doubt be more on Monday night.

Blue Jays' first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Is having one of the best postseason runs in MLB history, outfielder George Springer is somehow still walking and always finds a way to get a big hit and all infielder Ernie Clement has done is hit the baseball.

On the Mariners' side, catcher Cal Raleigh has continued his MVP-caliber season into the postseason, third baseman Eugenio Suarez has found his swing again and first baseman Josh Naylor always finds a way to get a hit when Seattle needs a rally.

There's plenty on the line in Game 7 on Monday night, and both teams should be ready for some fireworks.

The Blue Jays will have Shane Bieber on the mound and the Mariners will rely on George Kirby to start. It all gets underway at 8:08 p.m. In Toronto.
