Saskatchewan going berserk as Toronto Blue Jays advance to ALCS

Some Saskatchewan baseball fans have never experienced a moment like tonight.

Some Saskatchewan baseball fans have never experienced a moment like tonight. Others now have a new moment to put alongside Joe Carter's legendary home run.

People young and old skipped work, skipped school, or just gathered around their TVs, computers, or phones to see their beloved Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday afternoon.

And it was a day to remember. The Blue Jays beat the Texas Rangers 6-3 in game five of the American League Divisional Series. They'll now advance to the American League Championship Series for the first time since 1993.

Baseball fans know all that. And people in Saskatchewan wore their emotions on their sleeves today - or in these cases, on their social media feeds:

Anger in the top of the 7th

Justice in the bottom of the 7th
