The Toronto Blue Jays are a professional baseball team based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. They were established in 1977 as part of Major League Baseball's (MLB) American League (AL) East Division. The Blue Jays are currently the only Canadian team in MLB, following the relocation of the Montreal Expos in 2005. The team plays their home games at the Rogers Centre, which was formerly known as SkyDome. The Blue Jays are known for their distinct team colors of royal blue, navy blue, red, and white. The name "Blue Jays" comes from the bird of the same name, and blue is also the traditional color of Toronto's collegiate and professional sports teams.
The Toronto Blue Jays achieved a significant milestone by winning back-to-back World Series championships in 1992 and 1993. They became the first (and to this day, only) team outside the United States to appear in and win a World Series. Furthermore, they achieved this feat in their 16th year, making them the fastest AL expansion team to win a World Series. As of 2024, the Toronto Blue Jays and the National League's Miami Marlins are the only MLB franchises with multiple World Series appearances with no losses.
