1981 Blue Jays, or 1979 Blue Jays, or the 1977 Blue Jays, or the 1978 Blue Jays in that order. Thankfully, the 1981 Blue Jays had Dave Stieb. Unfortunately, they didn't have much else. It was also the year that one of the best outfields in baseball (for its time) played together for the first time: Bell, Moseby, and Barfield. Unfortunately they weren't quite ready for prime time in 1981. Thankfully for me, the first five years of the organization are a distant memory. It's fun to look back on and remember that these were the players that would eventually be stars on the first division championship team in franchise history, but it was not fun to lose so much at the time.
