A look back at five memorable moments in Blue Jays post-season history

The Toronto Blue Jays will face the Seattle Mariners in the American League Wild-Card Series starting Friday.

Here's a look back at five memorable playoff moments in Blue Jays history:

WALKING THE PARROT

The old single wild-card game format had its share of critics, but it frequently delivered the drama.

Toronto and Baltimore heightened the intensity even more by going to extra innings in their play-in matchup at Rogers Centre in 2016.

With the score tied at two in the 11th inning, Devon Travis and Josh Donaldson reached on one-out singles for the Blue Jays.

That set the stage for Edwin Encarnacion, who belted a no-doubt blast off Ubaldo Jimenez that booked Toronto's spot in the AL Division Series.

Encarnacion, an all-star with 42 homers that season, raised both arms in the air after his swing. Orioles catcher Matt Wieters looked up at the launched ball and immediately started walking back to the dugout.

Future Hall of Famers squared off in Game 4 of the 1992 AL Championship Series when Oakland's Dennis Eckersley faced Roberto Alomar in a ninth-inning showdown.

Eckersley was virtually unhittable that year, winning the Cy Young Award and the league's MVP honour. The late-afternoon shadows at the Oakland Coliseum provided another challenge for Alomar, the Blue Jays' second baseman.

Alomar silenced the crowd with a two-run homer and Toronto went on to win 7-6 in 11 innings.

The Blue Jays would close out the series in six games before topping the Atlanta Braves for their first World Series title.

Toronto's first post-season appearance came in 1985 after manager Bobby Cox guided the squad to a 99-win campaign. The
