Toronto Blue Jays history
Toronto joined the American League as an expansion club in 1977. A year earlier, out of more than 4,000 name ideas, 154 people suggested Blue Jays, after the bird. Blue also matched a long local habit, since Toronto's college and pro teams, including the Maple Leafs and Argonauts, have long worn it. Fans usually just say the Jays.
Exhibition Stadium was the first home. In 1989 the team moved into the brand new SkyDome, and after Rogers Communications bought the building in 2004 it became Rogers Centre, which seats 39,150. Rogers has owned the club itself since 2000. Toronto was the second MLB team based outside the United States, and it has stood alone since Montreal's club left for Washington in 2005.
