It had been 22 years since the Toronto Blue Jays won the AL East, and they celebrated the occasion with the appropriate fanfare. Wearing shirts that read ''The East Is Ours,'' the Blue Jays yelled and screamed with delight in an appropriate conclusion to their unstoppable, two-month run. With a 15-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday in the opener of a doubleheader, Toronto eliminated the New York Yankees from the division race and claimed its first title since 1993.
