It’s been a lot of fun to re-visit the Blue Jays teams of the early 90’s, and a pretty good reminder about why those teams were so successful. They were loaded with talent.
Looking at the 1993 All-Star game as an example, the Blue Jays had seven players on the AL squad that year. Sure, Cito Gaston was the manager and got to select his reserves, but he couldn’t have done that without justification. As a result, Joe Carter, Roberto Alomar, and John Olerud were voted on to the team that year, and Gaston later added Paul Molitor, Devon White, Duane Ward, and Pat Hentgen as well.
