Our All Time Top 50 Toronto Blue Jays have been revised to reflect the 2024 Season.
Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2024 revision of our top 50 Toronto Blue Jays.
As for all of our top 50 players in baseball, we look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the American League.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.
Please note that our algorithm has changed, which yielded minor changes throughout the baseball lists.
Last year, the Blue Jays had a disappointing campaign where they had a losing record. There were no new entrants, but two elevations
As always, we present our top five, which saw one change based on the new calculations.
1. Dave Stieb
2. Roy Halladay
You can find the entire list here.
First Baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. vaulted ten spots to #12.
Notably, Bo Bichette’s poor year dropped him two spots to #27.
The new algorithm brings Brett Lawrie at #45.
We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team. We have a new one to unveil today, that of the Toronto Blue Jays, which means we have finally completed all of the MLB teams!
Our Top 50 lists in Baseball look at the following:

3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.
Remember, this is ONLY based on what a player does on that particular team and not what he accomplished elsewhere and also note that we have placed an increased importance on the first two categories.
This list is updated up until the end of the 2022 Season.
The complete list can be found here, but as always, we announce our top five in this article. They are:
1. Dave Stieb

We will continue our adjustments on our existing lists and will continue developing our new lists.
Look for our more material coming soon!
As always, we thank you for your support.
4. Tony Fernandez
Tony Fernandez was scouted and signed by the Toronto Blue Jays and made his Major League debut in 1983. As the Jays improved in the mid-80s, the Dominican Shortstop was one of their stalwarts. From 1985 to 1988, he would receive MVP votes, showing off firm contact, hitting, and defense. In all of those four seasons, Fernandez was named a Gold Glove winner, and he would at least bat .280 with 160 Hits.
An All-Star for the Blue Jays three times, he was dealt to the San Diego Padres in a major trade after the 1990 season, and Fernandez was an All-Star for the fourth time in 1992. The Shortstop again was a Blue Jay in 1993, where he was a member of their first World Series Title.
Following that ring collection, he was a Cincinnati Red, New York Yankee, and Cleveland Indian before going back north as a Blue Jay and going to his fifth and last All-Star Game. Fernandez went to Milwaukee and returned to Toronto before retiring in 2001.
The Infielder compiled 1,583 Hits, 172 Stolen Bases, and a .297 Batting Average as a Blue Jay and would later be inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame. Fernandez is also a member of the Blue Jays Level of Excellence.
207. Tony Fernandez
Does the city of San Pedro de Macoris in the Dominican Republic have a formula to create infielders for Major League Baseball?
446. Strawbs
Another of the Progressive Rock groups from England, the Strawbs drew more from Folk Rock than their contemporaries did. They had a poetic sound that seemed traditional and modern at the same time. It could have been that traditional British Folk influence that kept them anonymous in the States. Even if they were known, the Progressive Rock angle earns them no love from Cleveland’s voters.
