The Toronto Blue Jays’ minor league affiliate, the St. Catharines Blue Jays, played a crucial role in the team’s success 32 years ago, helping launch the careers of many players, including Carlos Delgado, who later contributed to the Blue Jays’ 1993 World Series win. Known for its proximity to Toronto and its suitable facilities, St. Catharines aimed to enhance sports tourism and foster a love for baseball in a city primarily recognized for hockey and rowing.
