2015 Review: Sounds of the Season

With 2015 coming to a close, what better way to ring in the New Year than to reminisce about the greatness that was the Blue Jays 2015 season.

It was a year full of memories, most notably in the final two months into the playoff run that ended in Game 6 of the ALCS in Kansas City.

You might want to bundle up to neutralize the shivers from all the goosebumps; here are my Top 10 moments, and how they sounded on TV and radio.
