8. George Bell (1985-1987)
The first player in franchise history to win the AL-MVP award was George Bell back in 1987, a season in which he hit 47 home runs and had a league-leading 134 RBI while posting a slash line of .308/.352/.605. That year, Bell would win his third consecutive Silver Slugger Award and he would finally take home the MVP award after finishing fourth and eighth in voting the previous two seasons.
Bell is often remembered for that power-hitting season in 1987 and what is usually forgotten is what he did in 1985, when he and teammate Jesse Barfield became the first Blue Jays to have a 20-20 season, in which they collected 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases.
Bell was never known as a speedster and only had 33 stolen bases total over those three seasons, but the power numbers were there as he hit 106 home runs, which is the fifth most in franchise history over a three-year time frame. During that span, Bell averaged 35 home runs, 112 RBI and a slash line of .298/.343/.539.
