Based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, the Toronto Blue Jays are a professional baseball team. They were founded in 1977 as a member of the American League (AL) East Division of Major League Baseball (MLB). Since the Montreal Expos moved in 2005, the Blue Jays are the only Canadian team left in Major League Baseball. The Rogers Centre, formerly known as SkyDome, is where the team plays its home games.
Blue is the traditional color of Toronto's professional and collegiate sports teams, and the term "Blue Jays" is derived from the bird of the same name. 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.
