The Philadelphia Blue Jays are an American professional baseball franchise based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They are one of the founding six franchises of the North American Baseball Association that formed the league in 1884, albeit as the Boston Yanks. Incidentally, a Philadelphia team was a part of the six founding members, in the Philadelphia Giants, who today exist as the Dallas Rangers. The team currently competes in the NABA's Continental League.
The Blue Jays have won 10 American Grand Finals championships in their 130+ year team history, 7 of which came in their current city of Philadelphia, and all 7 of these under the Blue Jays name. Their most recent championship was in 2009, when they swept the Nashville Blues 4-0.
The team began play in Kashani Park, sharing it with the Tigers until their cross-city rival got a new stadium in 1941. Their existence, for much of the time surrounding their relocation, sparked outrage, mainly in Boston, who'd lost their final baseball team after lackluster performance and attendance caused the owner to move it to a more-bustling market.
