NEED TO KNOW

  • The Toronto Blue Jays won the ALDS series against the New York Yankees
  • Inside the winning team’s clubhouse, All-Star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. trolled the losing team
  • “DAAAAA Yankees lose!” Guerrero Jr. yelled, along with David “Big Papi” Ortiz, in his post-game interview on Fox

Start spreading the news: The Toronto Blue Jays are the American League Division Series champions!

The resurgent team, led by first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. — and on Wednesday, Oct. 8, a hodgepodge, bullpen lineup — beat the New York Yankees in four games to clinch the ALDS — and Guerrero was loving every minute of the team’s historic win at Yankee Stadium.

“DAAAAA Yankees lose!” the All-Star, 26, crowed, along with another Yankees nemesis — David “Big Papi” Ortiz — in his post-game interview with the Fox Sports crew.

Former Yankees legends Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez had no choice but to look on in a mixture of disbelief and laughter as the former Red Sox star and Guerrero continued to repeat the refrain, which trolls former Yankees announcer John Sterling who used to jubilantly yell, “Theeeee Yankees win!” after their triumphs.

As his teammates poured beverages down the back of his shirt and on top of his head, Guerrero broke into a wide grin, occasionally took a swig of beer and tried to describe his focus on finally beating the rival team.

“I like playing here,” Guerrero told Jeter. “And every time I see the Yankees, I don’t know what happens with me. But to me, it’s nothing personal.”

Toronto won the series, 3-1.

The win marked almost 10 years since Toronto — who won their only two World Series titles in 1992 and 1993 — last advanced to the ALCS.

Inside the raucous clubhouse, coach John Schneider got in on the fun, too, when he acknowledged the team’s key players in the game, and then shared a champagne-fueled NSFW message with another dig at the Yankees and their victory song “New York, New York.”

“Every single one of you … bullpen game, Nathan Lukes, Myles Straw, all you guys. It takes everybody, every day,” Schneider said. “Start spreading the news, b——, we’re going to the ALCS!”
