where are the toronto blue jays from

The Toronto Blue Jays are a Canadian professional baseball team based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. They were founded in 1977 as part of the Major League Baseball American League expansion. The team plays its home games in Toronto, primarily at the Rogers Centre (formerly SkyDome) since 1989. The name "Blue Jays" was selected through a contest from over 4,000 suggestions and reflects Toronto's tradition of using blue in sports team colors as well as being inspired by the Labatt Blue beer, associated with the original team ownership.
