Fond Memories: 92 Blue Jays and 92-93 Maple Leafsby thirstydeer - 71 cards (Last updated on Apr 4, 2021) |
Then the Leafs started their season... they started off with their typically subpar win/loss ratio. But when the second half hit, everything fell together. The team had 26 wins and 12 losses to make the playoffs, and pushed out Detroit and St. Louis until falling victim to the Kings in no small part due to the infamous non-call on Gretzky (yes, I went there).
To commemorate these fond memories I have from when I got into these sports and teams respectively, I've put together the below list which includes every player (whom I have cards of) who played on the Blue Jays and Maple Leafs roster that year. Most cards will be from that season but if I don't have any I'll use cards from other seasons, with a priority on cards in which the players are in their Toronto attire.

Early to late 90's Robbie Alomar was arguably the best overall player in baseball (the MLB). And historically, he's arguably the best (overall) 2nd baseman in history when considering his offense and defense. Nobody else has more gold gloves at 2nd than Alomar. If he hadn't have quickly started to decline after age 35, he would have easily reached 3,000 hits. Regardless, he led the Jays to back to back world championships, which is very hard to do in baseball. For that alone, he's one of the all-time greats of the game.
