Today they’re in the World Series, but it’s easy to forget the Blue Jays’ humble beginnings at Exhibition Stadium, a quirky park exposed to the frigid elements and once dubbed by a former team president as “the worst stadium in sports.”

Join the MLB Central crew, Robert Flores, Mark DeRosa and Lauren Shehadi, and hear from your favorite Dodgers and Blue Jays players at World Series Media Day at 2 p.m. ET.
