I'm going Cubs for Gausman, but I'm generally open to chaos and any underdog.

When Springer was approaching 1000 runs I compiled a list of the players that drove him in the most for an article that never got written... and I'm completely stumped on this.

Clement was my first guess. I'll try Bichette?

Not the funeral vibes I was expecting. Even put some runs on the board! Roof open, good weather, go Jays.

You really do go through the full range of emotions here as 35-year-old Kevin Gausman makes a heads-up, athletic, diving play to get a crucial out, then has to spend a minute doubled over before he can stand up all the way again

I will tolerate the upcoming work stoppage if they institute a league-wide retractable roof policy. Canceling for inclement weather is for the minors.

Allen Iverson had remarkably fewer Sports Illustrated covers than I would've guessed.

Yes! I'm going to one of the Cincinnati games and depending on how important it turns out to be I might spend the whole game in the Hall.

The Joe Carter statue outside and the Hall of Excellence inside are both great additions. The 50th anniversary has been a wonderful excuse to reminisce about the better (and much much worse) times.

Mike LeSage @mlesage.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

That's kind of where I land. I can find myself wallowing in the lows of the final outcome, but when I focus on the journey rather than the destination, I'd take 2025 every time.

I have always believed in Big Oak. My trust in his ability has never wavered.

I love the ghost with the umbrella! Should've won for sure!

Have seen so many people talking vaguely about Kirk from a year ago, but I couldn't remember a specific highlight. He went 0-4 at the plate, but caught a good game from Berrios (and Fisher, Varland, Little and Hoffman). www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/TOR/TO... (I've since figured it out)

Went to the HHoF today and made a detour on the way home to see the statue. It's even better in person. They had 30+ years to get it right and they really did.

Would've guessed that the Yankees tipped 90% on a survey like this.

At Blue Rodeo tonight, and let me tell ya, when "out in the middle of Lake Ontario" hit, the place was hyped.

I was disappointed when they announced that the Level of Excellence was going away. I'm still not thrilled to lose it, but the Hall of Excellence looks cool as hell.

010

Mike LeSage @mlesage.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

McGriff probably my first choice. Key, Whitt and Clancy are good picks too. Honestly there's an easy case for all the players on the list. Can't wait to check out the new Hall.

Nice! Was that custom or was it something they sold? I've gone through many colour combinations on Jays hats, but don't think I've ever flagged that one.

Mike LeSage @mlesage.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

The red hat with white-panel front though? That'd still sell.

Beauty... guess I'll do something productive instead.

Mike LeSage @mlesage.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

2021 they finished with nine. Romano, Dolis, Merryweather, Mayza, Cimber, Chatwood, Castro, Milone and Cole. I'm intrigued enough to keep digging...

Once more for the evening crowd! This is the result of some of the most fun research I've done in a while.

000

Mike LeSage @mlesage.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

I tracked down almost every 5-3 double play the Jays have ever made for this. Sure, it's not four outs in an inning, but it's beautiful in it's own way.

Bearing in mind that I can’t see a single second of what’s happened here, need this crowd to remind everyone that we are the fanbase that famously threw beer at babies. Remember who you are!!!!!!! (dirtbags)

Well that's one way to end a game.

A couple of years ago my wife and I got Jays jerseys. She got a #25 Varsho and I went with Gausman. Truly the end of an era in our household.

At the park with some rival scouts. Looking to get a deal in ahead of the deadline.

Never forget! It's kind of incredible how many of the most memorable moments from that run came off the field. Fuckin fired up and ready to go!

Jays are gonna sell everyone off and then bumble into missing the playoffs by half a game.

Yup 100%. Such a perfect picture too.

Lots of in-game moments to remember, but for off field ones this is my #1.

I can't sing or play an instrument, but I think I could really nail the other parts of a concert. Asking how everyone is doing tonight, gauging the crowds interest in rocking and rolling, yelling out a fact about the town I'm currently in. I think I could really shine there.

Mike LeSage @mlesage.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

Vladdy is the most recent Jay to do this. I was at the game in 2010 when JP Arencibia did it. The Jays won 17-11 over TB and had 8 homers for the home side. My nephew's memory of the game was how good the popcorn was. Doug Ault on '77 Opening Day was first. Alex Gonzalez ('95) the only other.
