Their first ever appearance in the playoffs was versus the Kansas City Royals in 1985. The Jays would eventually succumb to George Brett and company in a tough, seven game ALCS battle. The Jays posted their best win/loss record in history going 99-62 with a .615 winning percentage. This season is still in the record books as the best regular season is Jays history.
However, the contingent from north of the border would once again taste defeat at the hands of the Oakland Athletics. The “Bash Brothers” would overpower the Blue Jays in five games during the ALCS.
