New-look Blue Jays might outshine WAMCO

Blue Jays fans will never forget the powerhouse lineups that the club featured in the glory years.

WAMCO (Devon White, Roberto Alomar, Paul Molitor, Joe Carter and John Olerud) was a devastating attack, with Olerud, Molitor and Alomar finishing 1-2-3 in batting average (Olerud and George Brett are the only players since 1941 to take a .400 average into August). Former MVP Rickey Henderson, an eventual first-ballot Hall-of-Famer with a nearly 95% vote count — was a late-season addition as well.

As fearsome as that attack was though, this one might be even better. The best six hitters have 20 all-star appearances between them, a pair of home-run titles (Jose Bautista) six top-five finishes in MVP voting and 17 top-11 finishes.
