TORONTO — Adam Basque was not even a year old when the Toronto Blue Jays last played in the postseason. In 1993, the Blue Jays won their second consecutive World Series to establish a mini-dynasty, and Basque was an infant in St. John, New Brunswick.
Over the next 22 years a playoff drought settled over Canada that was so unyielding that Blue Jays fans had little concept of what it was like to see playoff baseball in October. So when the Blue Jays finally surged back to the postseason this year, nothing would stop Basque from attending the first two games.
