TORONTO - The Sun's Ken Fidlin has covered the Blue Jays since before their first American League pennant in 1985. He explains why this year’s club has the fans more fired up than ever before – than 1985, than the championship teams in 1992 and 1993.
This is the wildest he’s ever seen Blue Jays fans. The park is sold out, they don’t leave after the seventh inning. It’s actual baseball fever. And they’re going back to the playoffs, it appears, for the first time in more than two decades.
