BREAKING: “I lost this season” – Bo Bichette burst into tears as he shared his feelings after the team won a ticket to the ALCS, vowing to come back stronger next year!.Y1

The 2025 season was an unfulfilled dream for Bo Bichette, the hero of the Toronto Blue Jays throughout August and early September. A stitch injury “destroyed the dream”, a brilliant regular season ended with the final heartbreaking words: “It’s sad that I can’t celebrate with my teammates and fans in these sacred moments…” – the tearful sharing of the name who once ranked top 3 in MLB in the number of hits and ranked first in the entire league in the number of 2-bases.

Bo Bichette, who once led the batting and contributed greatly to GL East history with .311 AVG, 181 hits and 44 doubles, cried for the first time in his career when talking about the reason for his absence.

“After sliding into home plate on September 6, my knee was so tight I couldn’t move. I still wanted to play, I wanted to keep that look, but the doctor told me to rest. It’s sad that I can’t celebrate with my teammates and the fans in this sacred moment,” he said, choking up.

His withdrawal from the playoff lineup – due to a left posterior cruciate ligament injury – sidelined the Blue Jays’ top hitter for the entire MLB American League Division Series, and everyone knew: as long as Tichette, there was hope for a championship.

Despite his heartbreak, Bichette was not dismayed. With his devastating form on the field in the time leading up to the injury – .373 AVG, 45 RBI, 24 doubles in just two months – he knew one thing for sure: the season wasn’t over for him.

“Right now, I can only rely on the belief that I’ll come back stronger than anyone has ever seen,” Bichette said. “If this broken glass knee ever stops me again, I’ll hit it with my bat and my thigh. I challenge myself to turn this pain into strength.”

Manager John Schneider also had nothing but praise for Bo: “Bo is the soul of this team. With or without him, we’ll go far, but our belief is because of him.”

While teammate Vladimir Guerrero Jr. exploded with a .529 AVG and three home runs to beat the New York Yankees, Bo sat on the sidelines, watching every swing. He didn’t get to celebrate his first AL Championship Series win in nine years – and that made those tears all the more painful.

“At one time, I thought the price of playing was the most painful thing,” he said. “But now I know: all glory begins with failure. And next year, I’m going to be there, on the field, and I won’t miss it again.”
