As the Dog Days of August fast approach, the realization that yet another Blue Jays season will end without a trip to the playoffs is beginning to dawn.

However, it’s not as if Toronto hasn’t had a reason to cheer.

Jose Bautista currently leads all of baseball with 31 home runs and has established himself as a genuine superstar and arguably the best player in the game today.

Ricky Romero earned his first All-Star selection with seven wins, a 3.18 ERA and three complete games including a shutout.
