Still, the Blue Jays have had their share of playoff success, which includes one of the most famous moments in the history of the sport. Here’s a breakdown of how often Toronto has won the World Series, and how the Blue Jays have fared in their visits to the Fall Classic.

Last time the Blue Jays won the World Series
Toronto’s last World Series victory came in 1993, which also featured one of the most iconic moments in MLB history. Outfielder Joe Carter hit a walk-off home run in Game 6 against the Phillies, which was one of only two walk-off homers in MLB history.
That marked back-to-back titles for Toronto, becoming one of six MLB teams to win two-straight championships in league history.
