All the way from across the pond, especially for the playoffs, the Eurasian Jay struts into the lineup like a seasoned import with flair and finesse. Sporting subtle pinks, blues, and blacks, it’s the most stylish bird in the clubhouse - think Euroleague meets Major League Birdball!

Also known as the Canada Jay and the “Whisky Jack,” this cool-headed veteran thrives in cold weather and clutch moments. A master of resourcefulness, the Grey Jay doesn’t need the spotlight - it just quietly makes the impossible plays.

Suited up in deep blues and blacks, the Steller’s Jay crouches behind home plate with mountain-tested grit. A west-coast native, it’s got the kind of attitude that can handle any pitch, any weather, and any heckling squirrel in the stands.
