The Toronto Blue Jays had a respectable 2007 MLB season, finishing 3rd place in the ultra-competitive AL East. They probably would have done even better if the team hadn’t been plagued by injuries, but with Vernon Wells and Frank Thomas both healthy and eager to play, and with Rod Barajas, Buck Coats, David Eckstein, Scott Rolen and Marco Scutaro added to the roster, manager J.P. Ricciardi is confident that the Jays will make it to the playoffs in 2008. Get your tickets to Rogers Centre and cheer the Toronto Blue Jays on to a winning season in 2008!

Beginnings

The Toronto Blue Jays were created in 1977 as Canada’s second Major League team. The team struggled for its first few years, finishing in last place for 6 straight years. Bobby Cox became manager in 1982 and the team immediately began improving, finishing fourth in 1983 and second the year after. Then, in 1985 Cox led the team to its first Division title and postseason berth. Unfortunately for Toronto fans, the team lost to the eventual world champion Kansas City Royals.
