geez i'm tearing up listening to this and remembering that team.

[rageapple]

Bro my grade 5 music teacher showed us this video and 5 years later it’s still a really good song and it’s nice being able to remember the good ol days

[adamjesin]

I would like to thank everyone that watched this video for your wonderful support, kind words, and for continuing to share and spread this song around. It now has over 1 million views, and that is because of all of you. Thank you, and go Jays!

[foxmulder]

It's pretty sad that I'm already referring to this as "the good old days".

[ryanp]

i watched this 11 times in a row, one time for every win it takes to win the World Series.

[jayshats]

Y’all watching in 2019 after the padres series

[guitaredfeathered.]

As Fellow Musicians and BLUE JAYS FANS - I have to GIVE YOU TWO HIGH FIVES FOR THIS - My Grandfather who passed away would have been in tears this year with how far they've come and how the fans have rallied around them as well. We Shall Proudly SHARE THIS with OUR FANS and FRIENDS as well ! GREAT JOB MY MAN !

[Andrew_Wallace]

For me I’m 19 years old. So when I think of the best blue jays team obviously 92’ 93’ jays are the GOATs. For me though, 2015/16 are my favourites. The fact this is almost 10 years old is insane.

[davechurch]

Who had the dislike? Did someone let a Yankees fan on here? This is great.

[chemicalzteam]

I can’t deny that this may be the best fan made song I’ve ever heard to date…

…and I’m a Yankees fan!

[paulashwell]

As a fan, I absolutely love it. You've really told the story of this season well, and I don't think you've left any one out. As someone who worked in the music business for many years, I'm just really knocked out with the quality. A lot of work and time went in to this, and it shows. You guys did a fabulous job!

[pld]

Y’all here when the jays just clinched in 2020

[musicm]

So um yeah I can't stop listening to this.

[shaymbj]

This song is amazing!!! Was at the Hat Trick game and wow the feeling of Toronto coming together in there was INCREDIBLE!! Jays are going all the way this year! GO JAYS GO!!
Adam Jesin did you notice that David Price has retweeted the song last night?? Jays are loving the song too

[Ben.T]

Watching this again brings back memories, sad that most of these players are gone

[justindrummond]

we need a 2022 remake. I still listen to this weekly

[ItsMillerTime]

I've watched this like 5 times in a row (I mean not as many times as Jays usually win in a row) and I can't help but be excited for the playoffs. Never seen a Jays team this good in my life. Reason to be excited. Great video

[MyRedPony]

I just love this song. I was there in '92 and '93. But for the past 22 years I've had my heart broken every September. Until this year. And this song is so much a part of it. I've forwarded, texted, tweeted, retweeted, and posted this song anywhere and everywhere I can. You did it, Adam. You absolutely captured the feelings of Blue Jays fans. I watch this as often as I can, at least 10 times during the day, and even more if I count listening to it during every commercial break during a game. Sometimes I'll play it while watching the game just so that I don't have to listen to Harold Reynolds' stupid comments. The last time a song did this to me was ... never, actually. I believe we will #TakeOctober. I also think that Rogers, Fox, or whoever is broadcasting the games should play the song during every 7th inning stretch. I guess what I'm trying to say is Thank You. #2015WorldSeriesChampions #GoJaysGo!

[MrSkunkWeed]

I will sign the hats then give them all back.

[lynnj]

Just awesome. I love the mic drop, and the standings at 1:29.
