Blue Jays: The Pearson Cup (French: Coupe Pearson) was an annual midseason Major League Baseball rivalry between former Canadian rivals, the Toronto Blue Jays and Montreal Expos.
Named after former Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson, it was originally created to raise money for minor league baseball in Canada.
The cup is now on display in the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame in St. Marys, Ontario.
From 1978 to 1986, the Cup was awarded after a one-game exhibition, that had no effect on the major league standings.
[7] There was discussion about reviving the game in the preseason, or playing it in another Canadian city such as Vancouver, but this never took place.
