Blue Jays' turn to invoke spirit of '85 for an epic ALCS rally?

TORONTO -- What were you doing during the 1985 ALCS between the Toronto Blue Jays and Kansas City Royals?

Hall of Famer George Brett was swatting three home runs and leading his team back from an overwhelming deficit to the World Series. Blue Jays broadcaster and former Toronto catcher Buck Martinez could only watch because in July he had broken his leg tagging out two runners at the plate on the same play. Meanwhile, Kansas City reliever Kris Medlen was likely having his diaper changed.

“No, I was potty-trained from the get-go,” Medlen said with a laugh.
