Touch Em All Joe!!!
The Toronto Blue Jays were coming off a historic season becoming the first team to win the World Series outside of the United States. The country was buzzing with the new season coming and the Jays wouldn’t disappoint making the playoffs again. After dispatching the Chicago White Sox in the LCS, they were off to the World Series for the second year in a row.
