Being Canada's only MLB franchise, and the only team in the Major Leagues outside the United States, 2006 was their 30th season.
Home to the Toronto Maple Leafs of the International League until 1967, Toronto had been mentioned as a potential major league city several times.
Formed in 1976 as one of two teams slated to join the AL for the next season, the Toronto Blue Jays were owned by Labatt Breweries, Imperial Trust and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. The last two were the minority owners.
Their first game was played against the Chicago White Sox on April 7, 1977, led by Doug Ault's two home runs. They successfully won the snowy affair 9-5.
Their worst performance was during1978 and 1979 when the team lost over 100 games in each year. Shortstop Alfredo Griffin was named American League co-Rookie of the Year in 1979. Bobby Mattick became manager of the team in 1980.
Toronto Blue Jays finished in last place in the American League East in both halves of the season in the strike-divided season of 1981.
Toronto Blue Jays first solid season was in 1982 when they finished 78-84 and their pitching staff was led by starters Dave Stieb, Jim Clancy and Luis Leal, and the outfield featured a young Lloyd Moseby and Jesse Barfield.
1983 saw Toronto Blue Jays first winning record, 89-73, as they finished in fourth place, only 9 games behind the eventual World Series champions, the Baltimore Orioles.
They continued to perform well in 1984 when they finished with the same 89-73 record, but this time they ended up in second place behind another World Series champion, the Detroit Tigers.
Strong pitching and a balanced offense enabled the Toronto Blue Jays to gain the victories in 1985. This when they won the first of their five American League East division titles. The mid-season call up of relief pitcher Tom Henke also proved to be important and they finished 99-62 (the franchise record for most wins), two games in front of the New York Yankees.
