"When it comes to legends that have played for the Toronto Blue Jays, names such as Dave Stieb, Joe Carter, Carlos Delgado, Roy Halladay and José Bautista usually come to mind. As for those that were Blue Jays but were legends predominantly with other MLB team during their careers, names such as Paul Molitor, Dave Winfield, the late Rickey Henderson and David Price would come up. In the case for the latter group, their legacies were usually recognized based on their teams with the most time they spent playing with."
"Interesting to hear Tulowitzki say he gets recognized just as much, if not more, as a Blue Jay because of those 2015/16 teams: "Atmosphere (at Rogers Centre) is second to none.. place was electric"He spoke to Bichette about those yrs and remembered Bichette saying to..(1/2)- Hazel Mae (@thehazelmae) September 12, 2025"
"Tulowitzki may not have been the potent productive bat that he was during his time with the Rockies when he arrived in Toronto. But what he did provide was Gold Glove-caliber defense to help stabilize the left side of their infield as they battled for World Series contention. Tulowitzki would spend a total of three seasons with the Jays, posting a .250 average, .727 OPS, along with 101 runs scored, 36 home runs and 122 RBIs in 238 total games played."
Troy Tulowitzki is widely identified with both the Colorado Rockies and the Toronto Blue Jays because of his role during Toronto's 2015–2016 contending seasons. Recognition in Toronto stems largely from defensive contributions that stabilized the left side of the infield and delivered Gold Glove-caliber play during a World Series pursuit. Tulowitzki spent three seasons with the Blue Jays, compiling a .250 batting average, .727 OPS, 101 runs, 36 home runs and 122 RBIs across 238 games. The Rogers Centre atmosphere during those years is remembered as electric and amplified his local legacy, despite offensive peaks occurring earlier in Colorado.
