Irish Phillies Hat

Irish Phillies Hat

In 1977 the city of Toronto, Ontario in Canada acquired their own MLB franchise in connection with MLB's expansion program and resulting in the Toronto Blue Jays baseball team. Previous to 2004 when the Montreal Expos were relocated to Washington D.C. there were two Major League teams in Canada. Today the Blue Jays alone have that distinction. The image of the team's mascot, the blue jay bird, is proudly worn on their team uniforms.

Canadian winners

The Blue Jays are renowned for being the first and only baseball outfit outside America to win the World Series. And because they won the title only sixteen years after they were organized, they also hold another record for that. Specifically the championships were won in 1992 and 1993. A very important factor in their success is the team's tactic of trading for important players and pitchers. Before the 1992 games, the Blue Jays acquired Jack Morris, the pitching legend of the Minnesota Twins during the previous year. Likewise, they managed to get Dave Winfield and other talented players from other teams. This paved the way to victory in 1992 when 96 games went to them together with the American League Easter Division trophy. The 1992 games are also memorable for the fact that no team was able to win a series against them. The defeat of the Oakland As earned the American League Pennant for them and they went on to the World Series.

The 1992 World Series

Playing against the Atlanta Braves in 1992, the Blue Jay team demonstrated spectacular pitching prowess which kept the opponent from getting a single run until well into the decisive sixth game. This final game was no one's game at first and had fans getting jittery. After the eleventh inning, the game was decided by Winfield's two-RBI double and the effective defense of the Blue Jays which gave the Braves only one run in that inning. Following their success, the team let go of Winfield and a few other players. They also acquired some new talent, for instance, veteran Dave Stewart.

1993 - an awesome repeat

In the 1993 Toronto season was almost as successful as 1992, the Blue Jays managed to retain the same winning streak they displayed in the previous games, winning only one game less than they did in 1992. Having thus won their division for the third consecutive time, they again entered the American League Championship Series facing the Chicago White Sox. They defeated the Sox six times in that Championship and once more prepared to join the World Series. The 1993 World Series was remarkable for its excitement because for a long stretch it was nobody's game. All teams managed to get high scores. In fact, the 1993 World Series holds the record for the highest points acquired in any World Series. The Blue Jays took only six games to win their second Championship. However, so far, their third victory is still to be seen.
