Top 10 Toronto Blue Jays Moments

Blue Jays: 9 White Sox: 5 (April 7, 1977): Toronto wins its first game…in the snow.

Blue Jays: 5 Yankees: 1 (October 5, 1985): Jays win their first AL East Title and make their first postseason appearance. They blew a 3-1 lead in the ALCS losing to the Royals in 7.

George Bell hits 3 homeruns on opening day (April 4, 1988): Bell hit three homers off Bret Saberhagen in a 5-3 Jays victory. Jimmy Key went 6 innings for the win.

Dave Stieb pitches consecutive one hitters (1988): Dave Stieb was one of the best pitchers of his era. In 1988, he lost no-hitters with 2-outs in the 9th on consecutive starts. In 1989, he had a perfect game broken up in the same fashion.

Dave Stieb no-hits Cleveland (September 2, 1990): Finally! Dave Stieb throws a no-hitter after three near misses blanking the Indians 3-0. With a little luck, he could have had four no-hitters in three seasons.

Roberto Alomar’s homerun off Dennis Eckersley (ALCS Game 4 October 11, 1992): The A’s built a 6-1 lead on Toronto in Game 4 of the 1992 ALCS. The Jays led the best-of-seven series 2-1 going into the game. The Jays cut the lead to 6-4 going into the 9th. With Hall of Famer Dennis Eckersley looking to close the game, Roberto Alomar slammed a two-run homer to tie the game. Toronto won in extra innings to take a 3-1 series. The Jays series victory ended the run for that version of the Athletics.

Dave Winfield’s double (Game 6 World Series October 24, 1992): The Jays won their first World Series in six games over the Atlanta Braves. In the 11th inning, Dave Winfield hit a two-run two-out double scoring two. The Braves scored one in the bottom half of the inning, but Toronto held on for the win.

Joe Carter (Game 6 World Series October 23, 1993): The Blue Jays win their second World Series on Joe Carter’s three run walk-off homerun.

Roger Clemens fans 18 (August 25, 1998): Clemens proved he was not washed up. He whiffed 18 Royals and allowed only 3 hits in the shutout.

Carlos Delgado hits 4 home runs (September 25, 2003): The Blue Jays needed each one of Carlos Delgado’s home runs. They beat the Devil Rays 10-8.
