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

3. Jose Bautista

4. Tony Fernandez

5. Carlos Delgado

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.

Following their TKO brethren, the UFC Hall Of Fame, the WWE Hall of Fame has announced the first ever match to be inducted to into their institution. 

From Wrestlemania 13, the Submission Match between Bret “Hit Man” Hart and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin will become the first match deemed worthy by the WWE Hall to be inducted.

Refereed by the debuting Ken Shamrock, Austin and Hart had been feuding since the 1996 Survivor Series, with Austin costing Hart the Royal Rumble and later the WWF World Heavyweight Championship when he interfered in the Hit Man’s Steel Cage Title defense against Psycho Sid.  At Wrestlemania 13, Hart defeated Austin when he passed out from Hart’s sharpshooter, and refused to quit.  Following the match, the victorious Hart continued to attack his bloodied opponent, until he was pulled off by Shamrock.  The end result was the most successful double-turn in pro wrestling history, and vaulted Austin to permanent main event status.

This match will join Triple H, Lex Luger, The Natural Disasters (Earthquake & Typhoon) and Michelle McCool for the Class of 2025.
