Blue Jays can find 2015 hope in '85 despair

That would be the 1985 Toronto Blue Jays.

Thirty years ago, the Blue Jays and Royals played a classic ALCS, with Kansas City winning Game 7 to advance to the World Series. It had some of both franchise's biggest stars.

Royals third baseman George Brett already was one of the game's great stars and a future Hall of Famer. Others -- Dan Quisenberry, Dick Howser, Frank White -- will live forever in the hearts and minds of Royals fans.

Likewise, the Blue Jays of 1985 had Lloyd Moseby and Dave Stieb, Willie Upshaw and Ernie Whitt.
