Yunel Escobar...Shortstop...Toronto Blue Jays
1, utility infielder Dave McKay was born in Vancouver, BC.
The Toronto Blue Jays' founding ownership group was headed by the Labatt brewery, whose marquee Ontario brand was (and still is) Labatt's Blue Pilsner. Pouring, both from this fact and the from longstanding Toronto sports tradition of sports teams wearing blue (NHL Maple Leafs, IL Maple Leafs, CFL Argonauts, University of Toronto Varsity Blues), Labatt decreed that the name must incorporate the name of the colour. Rumour has it that the "Toronto Blues" was the initial frontrunner before beng displaced by rather harmless migratory birds. Why Blue Jays? I can't really say other than to note that Blue Jays do inhabit the "true north strong and free" and fit in with the baseball tradition of naming teams after nonthreatening birds (Orioles, Cardinals).

Oh yeah... the Blue Jay's 1992 World Series Championship. What was special about it? It was the first in the World Series Championship Toronto Blue Jays back to back Fall Classic wins (The Fall Classic being the World Series). First, Toronto won in 1992 to claim their first Championship. Then, they won yet again for their second championship. It was awesome (even though I wasn't born yet).
