The Toronto Blue Jays are back on top of the American League East for the first time in a decade and fans across the country are celebrating.
With a decisive win over the Tampa Bay Rays, the team has clinched their first division title since 2015, capping a dominant 94-68 win season.
From setting hot dog records to packing ballparks in every city, Toronto fans have built a reputation as some of the loudest and most loyal in Major League Baseball.
Even Mayor Olivia Chow weighed in this week, telling reporters: “The entire country is cheering them on.”
As playoff baseball returns this weekend, we want to hear from the fans who have lived and breathed every inning.
Whether you’ve been following the team since their World Series wins in the early ’90s, or you jumped on board during José Bautista’s famous bat flip in 2015, this postseason is a milestone moment.
