The Braves are back in the World Series, as they face the Toronto Blue Jays in their 2nd Postseason encounter.

With both teams having a wealth of young talent and being a franchise on the rise, the Blue Jays and Braves could develop a serious rivalry in the 2020s and beyond.

It’s worth noting that the Blue Jays and Braves were foes in the 1992 World Series, which became a memorable series for both teams. Few Fall Classics have been as tense and competitive as the one between Toronto and Atlanta, with four of the six games being decided by just one run. The Braves were painfully close to forcing a Game 7, only to lose Game 6 at home in 11 innings, making the Blue Jays the first Canadian team to win a World Series. The memory of such an epic World Series is undoubtedly still in the minds of older fans on both sides every time the Blue Jays and Braves cross paths.

Most recently, their rivalry rekindled when the Braves' elite 3B bested Vladimir Guerrero Jr in the Semis, en route to winning his 8th HR Derby Trophy. However, in the All-Star game, Vlad would answer back by winning the All-Star MVP and getting the win for the AL. This rivalry between the two rising megastars will continue to grow whether they're in different or same leagues, as they look to size up each other in the 1992 World Series rematch.
