See the pride of Canada’s largest city and one of the freshest contenders in the American League with tickets to see the Toronto Blue Jays play. One of the most successful expansion teams in Major League Baseball, the Jays brought the American League north of the border in style and made a visit to the Rogers Centre into a standout attraction that is among the best things to do in Toronto.
The Blue Jays got their start in 1977, as part of the same expansion that created the Seattle Mariners—meaning Toronto was actually the southernmost city to get a Major League team that year. For their first game, the Jays played through an April snowstorm to beat the Chicago White Sox, but the rest of the year was a bit less magical. They wouldn’t have their first winning season until 6 years later.
After breaking into the playoffs in 1985, the team kept building momentum until they steamrolled through back-to-back World Series wins in 1992 and 1993. It would be another 22 years before the Jays made it back to the playoffs, but now they’re back in great form as they make their next run for the pennant.
The 2022 Toronto Blue Jays season is the 46th season of the Toronto Blue Jays franchise, and the Blue Jays’ 31st full season (33rd overall) at Rogers Centre. On July 13, the Blue Jays dismissed manager Charlie Montoyo after starting the month 3–9. Bench coach John Schneider replaced Montoyo as interim manager. In Montoyo's 4 years with Toronto, he had a record of 236–236. Pick up your Blue Jays tickets at Expedia and head out to the game for a look at one of the most distinctive teams in the sport.
The Blue Jays were founded as an expansion team in 1977.
Over the years the Blue Jays have had a few different mascots. From 1979-1999 the team mascot was BJ Birdy. BJ Birdy would be replaced by Ace and Diamond, two blue jay characters dressed in team uniforms.
Yes, they actually won back-to-back in 1992 and 1993. The win in 1993 is one of the more iconic moments in franchise history as Blue Jays player Joe Carter hit a game-winning 3-run home run to win the game. Carter became only the second player in Major League Baseball history to win a World Series with a game-winning home run.
The Rogers Centre has served as the Blue Jays home ballpark since 1989. The ballpark features a retractable roof and is situated at the base of the CN Tower. Some features of the stadium include two hotel rooms in center field, a video board that stretches 110 feet wide, as well as numerous pieces of artwork associated with the team and baseball.
