Toronto Blue Jays: 1932 American League Champions (1st pennant)
1932

Colin Cowherd
“This is why I talk about growth moments. Toronto didn’t flinch.
They blew it yesterday—everybody saw it—but instead of shrinking, they punched back harder. That’s a real team.
And Tampa? All year we heard ‘unbeatable at home.’ Well, myths end eventually. They were living on margins.
Now Toronto goes to the World Series for the first time ever, and here’s the thing—pressure flips. Atlanta has the legacy. Toronto has the freedom. Upsets live right there.”
Bob Costas
“For the first time in their history, the Toronto Blue Jays are bound for the World Series.
They arrived here carrying the weight of near-collapse, and left having authored their finest hour.
Tampa Bay, flawless at home until this night, finally faltered when perfection was most required.
Toronto’s offense was relentless, almost defiant, as if determined to leave no room for doubt.
Now, they advance to face the Atlanta Braves—a franchise steeped in October tradition—while Toronto steps onto baseball’s grandest stage with nothing but belief and momentum.”
Mike Francesa
“This is how you answer adversity. This is how you do it.
Toronto comes back after that disaster in Game 6 and scores sixteen runs in Game 7. Sixteen! That’s not luck—that’s resolve.
Tampa had been unbeatable at home, but eventually, if you keep playing with fire, you get burned.
Now Toronto’s in the World Series for the first time, and let’s be honest—they’re the underdog against Atlanta. But they’re loose. And loose teams are dangerous.”
Chris Russo
“MIKE! THEY FINALLY LOST AT HOME!
This was the worst possible time! You can’t lose THIS one!
Toronto came in like a wrecking ball—hit after hit after hit! They didn’t just win, they announced themselves!
First World Series EVER! And now they get the Braves?! Are you kidding me?!
Nobody believes in Toronto—and that is EXACTLY when crazy stuff happens in October! I LOVE THIS SPORT!”
