On some level, I think we all knew this would happen eventually. Six years ago, the Blue Jays made the postseason for the first time in 22 years. Not many people outside of Toronto realized that it had been 22 years, but the fans were viscerally aware of the fact. The team even more so.
Just five out of fifteen people on ESPN projected that the 2015 Blue Jays would make the playoffs. You might notice that all fifteen projected the 2015 Mariners to make the playoffs. It’s funny how predictions work. Humans are so, so smart.
