Jays Information
- Toronto is
added to the list of Major League cities in 1976 as the expansion
team the Blue Jays is started. The first game in Toronto was won
by the Blue Jays on April 7th, 1977 as they outscored the White
Sox 9-5 in the snow at Exhibition Stadium.
- The name
the Blue Jays was selected through a “Name the Team”
contest in which there were 30,000 entries.
- Despite losing
107 games in their first season the Blue Jays attracted 1,701,052
fans setting a new record for attendance to an exhibition team.
- The Blue
Jays won back to back World Series Championships in 1992 and 1993
defeating the Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies.
- The Jays
played in Exhibition Stadium from 1977 to 1988 before the move
to the Skydome occurred in time for the 1989 season. Buy Blue
Jays Tickets Over the All-Star break of 2002 the Blue Jays were
looking at a record of 34-52. Needing to do something to get the
season on the right track manager Buck Martinez was replaced by
Carlos Tosca. The Blue Jays did turn the season around going 43-32
in the 2nd half of the season and winning 16 of their last 20
games and ending the season in 3rd place in the AL East. Rookie
of the Year Eric Hinske and Josh Phelps helped pull the Jays back
into the swing of things with Phelps batting in 58 RBIs in just
74 games after being brought up from the minors. Roy Halladay
also had a great season on the mound with 19 wins and 7 losses
as he represented the Jays in the All-Star Game. April 2003 proved
to be a struggle for the Jays as they post a 10-18 record. Fortunately
on May 1st Roy Halladay records his first win of the season sparking
the Blue Jays to win 21 of 29 games in May. That win was the 1st
of 15 straight for Halladay as he and the rest of the team were
on a roll. Carlos Delgado was on record setting pace for RBIs
at the All-Star Break with 97. The Jays finished the season strong
after a slight slump after the break. Halladay finished with a
22-7 record earning him a Cy Young. Meanwhile Delgado finishes
2nd in AL MVP voting behind Alex Rodriguez of the Texas Rangers
as he records 42 homeruns and 145 RBIs. 2004 was a year of rebuilding
for the Blue Jays. The Jays struggled all season as injuries to
key players plagued the team. After getting swept in the first
series of the year things looked bleak from the eyes of Toronto
fans. Even in May after Frank Catalanotto’s six-hit night
the losses kept piling up. After Josh Phelps was traded mid season
many call-ups from the minors brought in some needed youth. In
a December off season move the Jays released Carlos Delgado and
signed Corey Koskie to a three-year deal. With large roster changes
put into action the Jays hope they can turn it around for 2005
and try to recreate their days in the early 90’s.
