“It’s been a good year to watch the Blue Jays. It’s been 20 years of struggling,” he insisted. “You’re a true fan if you suffer through losing seasons, so this is a good reward for all that.”

While Lawson felt good about the team securing the AL East, he admitted he would feel better if the team had the outright best record in the American League. That would enable them to hold home field advantage throughout the entire playoffs, including the World Series after the American League beat the National League in July’s All-Star game.

At a table nearby sat Jordan Walker decked out in his Jays jersey. His one-year-old son played right beside him in a little Blue Jays shirt.

“It’s exciting for Canada baseball. It’s exciting for everybody,” Walker said.

“We’ve been watching for years and now they’re finally competitive and it’s fun to watch them be successful after getting killed for years.”

The talk now for fans immediately gravitates towards potentially buying tickets to Toronto. However, Lawson admits before the season started reaching the post-season was something he thought was a little out of grabs for the team.

“I spent my playoff budget going to Spring Training this year.”

Toronto’s playoff opponent is yet to be determined.
