2007 Toronto Blue Jays

The Toronto Blue Jays did well in the 2006 MLB season with a winning average of .537, putting them in second place in the American League East, just ahead of the ever popular Boston Red Sox. But will they live up to their potential in 2007? The addition of John Thomson and Tomo Ohka should strengthen an already excellent pitching rotation, especially with A. J. Burnett back in full force. The question now is: do they have what it takes to get to the 2007 World Series? The only way to know for sure is to see the games live – and Coast to Coast has all the best seats. Be sure to get yours today before you miss your chance to see the Blue Jays live in 2007!

The Toronto Blue Jays have been around for a fairly short amount of time compared to some of the more storied Major League Baseball franchises. The Blue Jays first came into the American League in 1977. Despite this, the Blue Jays have won four division titles, and two World Series Championships back-to-back in 1992 and 1993.

Those Blue Jay teams were managed by Cito Gaston and had a great balance between offense and defense. They had great pitchers Juan Guzman, Dave Stewart, Jimmy Key, and Al Leiter. The offense on those championship teams was led by Roberto Alomar, Ed Sprague, Paul Molitor and Joe Carter. Carter was the author of the most famous moment in Blue Jays' history. In the 9th inning of game 6 of the 1993 World Series, Carter hit a walk-off, World Series-winning home run off Phillies' closer Mitch Williams. The home run made Carter an instant hero. The Blue Jays have not won a division series since that Carter home run, partly because of playing in such a competitive division. The Blue Jays play in the American League East against such rivals as the Boston Red Sox, Baltimore Orioles, and New York Yankees.

From 1977 until early 1989 the Blue Jays played outdoors at Exhibition Stadium. Ticket holders in Toronto had to deal with the cold Canadian weather at the beginning and end of the season. In 1989, the first retractable-roof stadium in baseball opened in Toronto. Formerly known as the SkyDome, this impressive structure is now known as Rogers Centre.

Note: Though often spelled Bluejays, the correct spelling is Blue Jays. While a lot of fans still write it Bluejays, you will not find Bluejays in the newspaper.
