It’s been a record-breaking year for the Toronto Blue Jays—both on and off the baseball diamond.

On Sunday, the Jays became the first American League team to clinch a playoff spot, and currently lead the AL East by two games.

With just six more games remaining in the regular season, they have notched 47 come-from-behind wins so far, surpassing the 44 set by the 1993 World Series Champion Blue Jays, and tying the ‘83 team for second most in franchise history.

Toronto also reached 50 wins quicker than any other time in franchise history since 1992, and their record of 55-41 before the All-Star break was the best since the ’92 Jays.

They also broke a 40-year-old franchise record for most home wins in a row with 11 this season.

And while it’s certainly been an impressive season for the Blue Jays, the team’s fans have also been flexing some record-breaking stats relating to hotdog consumption.

“Fans have consumed 733,412 Loonie Dogs this season, with a previous season high of 727,819 set in 2024,” a Toronto Blue Jays spokesperson told CTV News Toronto on Monday.

Rogers Centre hosts Loonie Dogs nights every time the Blue Jays have a home game on a Tuesday, selling hotdogs around the ballpark for just $1.

According to the Blue Jays, the single game record was set this season on Aug. 26, when a crowd of 42,235 fans ate 96,633 hotdogs—averaging 2.29 per fan.

Attendees at tonight’s game against the Boston Red Sox will have a chance to surpass 800,000 Loonie Dogs to set a new single season benchmark.

To celebrate the record-breaking hotdog season, Schneiders—who provides the wieners for each Tuesday home game—will be giving 1,000 fans a vintage-style shirt as part of a free giveaway.

“Schneiders is rallying fans to hit 100,000 Loonie Dogs for one last record-breaking night,” the company said in a statement.

The shirts will be available on a first come, first serve basis in section 108 on the main level concourse at tonight’s game.
