(The Sports Xchange) - The Toronto Blue Jays were given a little inspiration from their team of 30 years ago on Sunday and then went out to defeat the New York Yankees 3-1 courtesy of a two-run homer by Jose Bautista and strong pitching by starter Drew Hutchison.

The 1985 team, who beat the Yankees for the franchise's first American League East title, was honored before the game.

Bautista took notice.

"It's awesome seeing how they can come back and enjoy those victories in a great season after a long time," the Blue Jays right fielder said.
