Toronto Blue Jays All-Time Roster

Here’s our look at the Toronto Blue Jays’ all-time roster.

One of the expansion teams in 1977, the Toronto Blue Jays endured five years of outright misery before becoming competitive. Yet, in the id 1980s, just a few short years after they began as a franchise, the Blue Jays found themselves in the postseason, winning the American League East in both 1985, 1989 and 1991. While they failed to advance in the postseason, it was a great experience for a franchise that experienced such misery at the start of their time in the Majors.

That run in the 1980s culminated during the early 1990s. In 1992 and 1993, the Blue Jays won consecutive World Series, the 1993 championship punctuated by Joe Carter’s legendary home run off of the Phillies Mitch Williams. Toronto was the center of the baseball universe, and one of the model franchises in the game.

Alas, after the 1993 World Series, the Blue Jays endured another run of futility. They would go over 20 years without another postseason appearance, a run that ended last year. While the team would remain somewhat competitive, they were unable to get out of that mid-80s for victories, struggling to keep up in a division with the Red Sox and Yankees’ bloated payrolls.

Now, there is another Golden Age of Toronto Blue Jays baseball. In fact, it is easy to see the parallels between the current Blue Jays and the teams of the mid-1980s into the early part of the 1990s. Could we see the Blue Jays have another championship in the coming years?

The past and present also combine when putting together the Blue Jays all-time 25 man roster. So, without further ado, let us take a look at the greatest players ever to put on a Toronto Blue Jays uniform.
