It is truly fascinating how much history continues to be made in the sports world on a daily basis. Game 5 of the World Series on Wednesday was truly no different, as the Blue Jays' Davis Schneider and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. made World Series history. Schneider and Guerrero Jr. launched back-to-back home runs off the Dodgers' Blake Snell to start off Game 5 with a bang for Toronto. Not only were the two homers the first two solo home runs of the entire series for the Blue Jays, but the two teammates made MLB history in the process. According to the broadcast, Schneider and Guerrero Jr. going back-to-back was the first time in MLB history that a team has begun a World Series game with back-to-back home runs. Along with that, according to Sarah Langs, Wednesday was the first time in the career of Snell that he's allowed multiple first inning home runs. Along with that, Langs also noted that Toronto joined the 2002 Oakland A's as just the second team to ever begin a postseason game with back-to-back home runs. The beginning of Wednesday's game highlighted the relentless offense that the Blue Jays have shown throughout the season and could be a huge reason they secure a World Series title for the first time since 1993.
