Blue Jays greats warn that AL East far from clinched

Ah, before you go down to Nathan Phillips Square to get a good spot for the start of the World Series parade ...

Yes, the Blue Jays weekend in New York was impressive: Three wins in four games.

Yet it means little as far as booking a reservation for the American League Division Series, which may or may not lead to a parade.

Consider past history:

The 1985 Jays left the Bronx after winning three out of four with a 4 1/2 game lead and did not clinch until Game 161 at Exhibition Stadium.

The 1987 Jays were three outs away from being 4 1/2 games up with six games remaining, lost and never won another game.
