Over a 10-season stretch that formed the heart of his Blue Jays career, the team never finished within 10 games of the division lead. In his last season in Toronto blue, the Jays finished 28 games back in the division. Would he have thrown his very best if his Jays teams were of the more recent vintage, bashing homers and muscling themselves into the playoffs for the first time in forever? He did the same a year later, winning 22 games for Toronto and his first Cy Young award, while throwing 266 innings. He retired a Blue Jay, and should one day have the team’s cap on his Hall of Fame plaque.
