Josh Donaldson was back in the Rogers Centre for the first time this season last night, and naturally the feelings of nostalgia were in full force for the Blue Jays’ fan base.
Other than the World Series championships teams in 1992 and 1993, the 2015-2016 seasons are the most successful years in franchise history (they also won the division in 1985, ’89, and ’91), and that recent success brought back a lot of interest in baseball that had been dormant across the country. As a result, guys like Donaldson, Jose Bautista, Edwin Encarnacion, Russell Martin, and others will be revered for years to come.
