All right. The simming is over and the Jays are once again ready to take flight. The league totals look much better this time around as the league average ERA was not under 3 and the leaders in RBIs did not have only 89 for an entire season.

So I thought I would start off with a little bit of the league history before we get into the day-to-day operation on the Blue Jays.

League History - Past Champions

No one team has been super dominant in eather league. the Boston Red Sox made back to back World Series appearances in 2001 and 2002 but lost both times. They were back in the 2007 World Series but once again lost. The Blue Jays made their one and only appearance in the 1978 World Series in which they defeated the San Diego Padres for their only title in team history.
