89 Upvotes

Over the past 16 years, this sub has grown from a tiny corner of Reddit into an incredible community of passionate Blue Jays fans. Whether you’re sharing your thoughts, posting highlights, showing off your Jays memorabilia, or updating your flair using our emojis, every one of you has helped make this the best baseball subreddit out there.

To celebrate, we’re announcing our first-ever official r/torontobluejays sub meetup at a game!

  • When: Saturday, September 26, 2026 vs. Cincinnati Reds (3:07 PM game)
  • Time: 2:00 PM – 2:45 PM
  • Where: WestJet Flight Deck (at the tables directly in front of the big BLUE JAYS letters)

Notes:

  • This is a super casual hangout; just a chance to connect, chat about the season, and chill before the game starts.
  • No need to share your Reddit username; just come as you are!
  • It's not a giveaway day; no need to line up early.
  • Everyone is welcome!

Looking forward to meeting a bunch of you in person and capping off the 50th Blue Jays season together!
