Not much time to write anything but here are a few readings for you from elsewhere:

Every Moustache in Blue Jays History - The Blue Jay Hunter
Ian Hunter posted this right after the MMMM links post went up. If you are a Jays fan then you should do yourself a favour and take a look at all the fabulous 'staches. I'm sure that Ian didn't get them all. Some of the missing are identified in the comments--can you think of any others?
Brian Butterfield’s dream job was to be Blue Jays manager - Toronto Star

Jays' Janssen not worried about shoulder - Sportsnet.ca
