As Stroman sat at the podium at Kauffman Stadium before Game 6 on Friday, he smiled while taking a moment to reflect on how far away this moment seemed only a few months ago.
"I kept good faith the entire time," Stroman said. "But it's hard to actually sit there and actually believe you'd be sitting in this position this day. This still feels like a dream to me now, still feels like I haven't woke up this entire summer."
Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said it would be fitting to have Stroman on the mound for Game 7 with a shot at Toronto's first World Series berth since 1993.
