FOG BLOG SPORTS LOG: TORONTO BLUE JAYS CELEBRATE WITH BIG PARTY IN CLUB HOUSE , CLINCHING WILD CARD!

'Enjoy the S**t Out of This': Inside the Blue Jays Playoff Clinch Party TORONTO — At the start, Teoscar Hernández was the life of the party.

The 29-year-old outfielder—and the second-longest tenured Blue Jay on the roster—leaped onto a table in the clubhouse. Hernández bopped to the beat, wearing green ski goggles and waving a massive pirate flag as his teammates danced below.

At this point, the Blue Jays clubhouse was a full-on nightclub. Strobe lights shined; “Pump It Up” by Endor blared. The party was about to hit its peak when manager John Schneider emerged. That’s when the music stopped and the skipper, whose appointment as interim manager sparked the Jays in the second half, gave his speech.

“Unbelievable effort all season long,” Schneider said. “You guys have been f***ing incredible, and enjoy the s**t out of this tonight.”


That’s when the bottles popped and the sweet scent of champagne filled the room. As Future and Drake’s “I’m On One” took hold of the vibe, Alek Manoah entered the room like a WWE superstar. The 6-foot-6 pitcher, fresh off his eighth-consecutive quality start, was mobbed. Once Manoah got the cork off his bottle, he went wild, yelling and spraying everyone around him.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. seemed to find himself in the middle of nearly every celebration, like it or not. The 23-year-old had just roasted a 118-mph homer in the win versus the Red Sox a few hours earlier, leaving his teammates in awe. Now he was public enemy number one, as his buddies chased him down to get some revenge for all the post-game ice bucket dumps he led throughout the year.
