Happ, it was the ultimate September to remember, a big month near the start of a long and productive major-league career. It was the same for Toronto Blue Jays teammate Steve Pearce, who capped off a sensational season of trajectory when he got his turn to benefit from the expanded roster of a major-league team.

They’re my teammates and this is a big experience for them.”
