Baseball in 2019 is unlike anything we’ve seen before with the remarkable surge in home runs, which the BlueJays 15-inning win over the Orioles underscored even further. (bnicholsonsmith)

TORONTO – When you think back a few years to the last great Blue Jays offence, you think of just how powerful their 2015 lineup was.

“I was trying to hold my smile the best I could, but it was pretty tough,” Alford said afterwards. “Honestly, you never know when it’ll happen again, so I really just tried to enjoy the moment.” “It couldn’t happen to a better kid,” manager Charlie Montoyo added. “Everybody was so happy for him. His first one’s a walk-off. That was awesome to see.”

As for the homers, we’ve never seen anything like this across baseball. Big-league hitters set a new single-season home run record weeks ago, with more than 6,500 and counting.
