The 1982 Toronto Blue Jays season was the franchise's sixth season of Major League Baseball. Although the Blue Jays once again finished last in the seven team American League East (due to losing a tie-breaker to Cleveland) their record of 78 wins and 84 losses was by far the best in team history to date. Toronto finished 17 games behind the American League Champion Milwaukee Brewers. Bobby Cox became the third field manager in team history.

Dave Stieb established himself as one of the top pitchers in the American League, as he led the AL with 19 complete games and 5 shutouts.

Regular season

One of the key events of the season was that the Toronto Blue Jays sold its first beer. Exhibition Stadium was the only stadium in the major leagues that did not sell beer. The Ontario Legislature reached a decision on July 7, 1982. Dr. Robert Elgie, the minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations announced that beer would be sold on a trial basis at Exhibition Stadium. L

The decision also applied to Hamilton's Ivor Wynne Stadium and Ottawa's Lansdowne Park, [2] which along with Exhibition Stadium were previously the only Canadian Football League stadiums to not offer beer, but not to Maple Leaf Gardens, which would not be permitted to sell beer until the middle of the 1992-93 NHL season. On July 30, 1982, Paul Godfrey sold the first ceremonial beer at Exhibition Stadium to William Turner, a fan from London, Ontario. [2]
