Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Bo Bichette clearly came into Game 7 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers with a knee injury, but he brushed it off for an epic moment.
With George Springer and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. on base, Bichette hit a three-run home run off Dodgers starter Shohei Ohtani on Saturday night. The crowd at the Rogers Centre nearly blew the roof off the place as Bichette jogged around the bases.
Bichette put Toronto up 3-0.
If Bichette was healthy, he may have given the Blue Jays their first run early in the game. He nearly came around to score in the second inning, but the knee injury prevented him from heading toward home.
Los Angeles got out of the jam – but not for long.

Bichette, the son of former Colorado Rockies slugger Dante Bichette, came into the game 6-for-19 with a .319 batting average and three RBI.
The monstrous home run chased Ohtani out of the game – at least from the mound. Ohtani already had a hit on the night. He was 1-for-2 after he flied out in the top of the third inning. He was pitching in the game on three days rest.
