Order by the year each player joined the Toronto Blue Jays. You place all 52 cards on one timeline, one at a time. You start with three lives, and ten right in a row wins a lost one back.
Toronto Blue Jays players are the cards, and you're ordering them by the year each joined the club. You start with one on the line and his year visible. Each new card gives a name and a position, from catcher to designated hitter, and you choose where he fits. A correct gap reveals the year. A wrong one still sends him to his real position and takes one of your three lives.
Toronto joined the American League as an expansion club, and the deck starts with the franchise's first players before moving through the contenders that made the city a baseball town and on to recent rosters. The middle is the most crowded part. Relief pitchers are a big group, and designated hitters appear alongside the usual positions. Veterans who stopped in Toronto only briefly are the hardest to place.
