Celebration worth the wait for confident Blue Jays

BALTIMORE -- The Blue Jays held their pre-party last weekend when they clinched an American League Wild Card spot, but the real festivities were saved for Wednesday, when the club picked up its first division title since 1993.

Toronto clinched the AL East crown with a 15-2 victory over Baltimore in Game 1 of a doubleheader on Wednesday. With another game to play later that night, the celebrations had to be put on hold for a few hours, but the team made up for it in epic fashion.

The champagne was flowing, the celebratory cigars were passed around and beer showers were raining down from every direction.
