Serious question here.

I think as people have mentioned being "Canada's team" and having them forced down our throats by all the media here probably contributes a lot to fans from all over the country.
As well for many people around 35 the Jays teams of the early 90's when they are likely choosing teams were top teams so an easy team to latch on to.
I think that the amount of Jays fans outside of TO in other parts of Canada gets largely over stated. I personally don't get it and hate any time the use of Canada's team is used because it is inaccurate.
