Moments that captivated Jays History: Five thrilling climaxes in the team's journey
Toronto Blue Jays Secure Playoff Spot After Four-Year Absence
The Toronto Blue Jays celebrated a significant milestone in 2025, securing a playoff spot for the first time in four years. However, the joy was muted due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, with fans unable to attend the festivities.
Hyun Jin Ryu anchored the team with a strong seven-inning outing in a crucial game against the New York Yankees. His performance was instrumental in securing the playoff spot for the Blue Jays, who finished the season with an impressive record of 96-66.
The Blue Jays' journey to the playoffs was not without its challenges. For part of the 2021 campaign, they made their temporary home at a Triple-A venue. Despite the unconventional circumstances, the team managed to persevere and clinch a spot in the postseason.
One of the key moments in the Blue Jays' 2020 season was Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s home run at Buffalo's Sahlen Field on September 24. This hit gave Toronto a lead they wouldn't relinquish, propelling them towards their playoff goal.
The Blue Jays' history is filled with memorable moments, including their 1993 World Series victory. That roster included five players who earned MVP votes. One of the standout players from that era was Rickey Henderson, who delivered a crucial home run in a game against the Yankees on September 24, 1993. His contribution helped the Blue Jays win a crucial series.
Pat Gillick, the General Manager of the Blue Jays in 1985, when they won the East Division title, was also instrumental in the team's success. He was aggressive at the trade deadline in 1993 and managed to land stolen base king Rickey Henderson from the Oakland Athletics.
Unfortunately, the Blue Jays' 2025 season didn't end on a high note. They lost their last seven games, including a 1-0 decision to Detroit in the season finale. Frank Tanana, pitching for the Tigers, delivered a six-hit shutout in the game, helping Detroit clinch the East crown.
Despite this disappointing end, the Blue Jays can take pride in their achievement of securing a playoff spot. With a strong core of players and a history of resilience, they are well-positioned to make a deep run in the postseason.
