Toronto Blue Jays

At a Glance

Introduction

The Toronto Blue Jays joined Major League Baseball as an expansion franchise in 1977, becoming the second MLB team based in Canada and eventually the country’s only remaining major league club. After enduring the typical struggles of an expansion team, Toronto developed into a consistent contender during the 1980s behind stars such as Dave Stieb, George Bell, Tony Fernández, and Jesse Barfield. The Blue Jays won their first American League East title in 1985 and established themselves as one of baseball’s strongest organizations, culminating in consecutive World Series championships in 1992 and 1993. Those titles made Toronto the first franchise based outside the United States to win the World Series.

The Blue Jays have remained an important part of the American League East, with later generations producing stars such as Carlos Delgado, Roy Halladay, José Bautista, Edwin Encarnación, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Toronto returned to the postseason spotlight in 2015 and 2016, reaching the American League Championship Series in consecutive seasons and creating some of the franchise’s most memorable moments since its championship years. From Stieb’s dominance on the mound and Delgado’s record-setting power to Halladay’s excellence and Bautista’s unforgettable postseason home run, the Blue Jays have built a distinctive history within Major League Baseball. This hub brings together the franchise’s greatest players, historic seasons, statistical leaders, all-time rosters, and other resources covering the history of the Toronto Blue Jays.
