I continue the All-time tour with the Toronto Blue Jays.   Since we’re dealing with over a century and thousands of players I will assume the DH role for both leagues.  I will limit the teams to 25 players.  I’ll carry 13 batters and 12 pitchers for each team.  With baseball season around the corner, what better time to take this journey.  The teams are based on the stats the players produced with the team so Alex Rios, for example, isn’t there yet for the Jays.  I may tinker with the lineups slightly to get the best roster possible.

Face of the Franchise:  Dave Stieb

Manager: Cito Gaston
