For those of us that are old enough to remember, 1993 brought a ton of excitement to Blue Jays fans, both from a team and an individual standpoint. Obviously the World Championship ranks supreme here, but we saw many remarkable seasons, including the Blue Jays having the top three in the batting race with John Olerud finishing first at .363, Paul Molitor second at .332, and Roberto Alomar coming in third with an average of .326. The trio were commemorated in a bobble head giveaway just this past weekend.
It was incredible to see the Blue Jays sport the top three hitters in the league, but for awhile that wasn’t even the narrative that everybody was talking about.
