To paraphrase from a famous movie, the one constant through all the years has been baseball. With the hot stove in full swing, we continue our look at the all-time leaders in both offensive and defensive categories for all 30 teams. We continue today with the defending AL Champion Toronto Blue Jays.
The Blue Jays began life in 1977, joining the American League along with the Mariners. I’ve seen 199 players wearing a Blue Jays uniform in the 32 of their games that I’ve attended live, including a 2015 visit to their home stadium in the country of Canada.
