A Look Back in Blue Jays World Series History

It's been a long time since the Blue Jays played in the World Series. A significant portion of the team's current fanbase wasn't alive when Toronto won back-to-back championships in 1992 and '93. Heck, most of the players on this year's team hadn't been born yet, and of the few who were, only Max Scherzer is old enough to have any memory of the Blue Jays beating the Braves and Phillies to claim their first two World Series titles.

For those who were lucky enough to watch Toronto's 1992 and '93 seasons, 30-plus years is still a damn long time ago. I can't imagine any of you remember every detail of those magical seasons. So, I thought it would be fun to present the rosters from the first two Blue Jays World Series teams side by side with the 2025 group. 

Let me be clear upfront: There's no analysis in this article, although you're more than welcome to provide your own in the comments below. All you're about to see is a series of fun tables full of remembersome Blue Jays of yore – and the present-day Blue Jays we'll be reminiscing about 30 years from now.

Without further delay, here are the starting position players from each of the three Blue Jays teams to make the World Series. For simplicity's sake, I'm optimistically presuming Bo Bichette will make his triumphant return at shortstop:

And here's how the players on each of those teams hit during the regular season:

As for the pitching, here are the arms Toronto used in 1992 and '93, as well as the most likely candidates to make the 2025 World Series roster:

And here's how all of those pitchers performed during the regular season:

It's still hard to believe it's really happening, but this morning, the Blue Jays will officially announce their World Series roster, and tonight, they will open their history book and start on a new World Series chapter. Let's hope the 2025 club enjoys just as much success as the two Blue Jays teams that played in the Fall Classic first.
