The Blue Jays won the World Series in twice, in 1992 and 1993. They are the fastest expansion franchise to ever win the title. Perhaps one of the most famous moments in World Series history came in 1993 from the bat of Joe Carter. He hit a game five walk off home run with one out to clinch the series. The call of the play by announcer Tom Cheeks was a huge moment for Major League Baseball.
Unfortunately no players have been inducted into the baseball Hall Of Fame as Blue Jays, though there are some promising candidates coming up for election. The current roster of Blue Jays is led by star pitcher Roy Halladay.
