After securing a wild-card spot in the American League, the Toronto Blue Jays have brought post-season baseball back to Canada for the second straight season.

• Blue Jays celebrate return to playoffs

In preparation for Tuesday's Jays vs. Orioles wild-card game, here's a look at the top Blue Jays moments from the 2015 MLB playoffs:

1. Bautista bat flip

This latest generation of Blue Jays fans consider the seventh inning of Game 5 of the ALDS against the Texas Rangers the most memorable and crazy baseball experience they've had. 

A crazy series of events during this game had fans on the edge of their seats, but the most iconic moment was the Jose Bautista bat flip:

So iconic, fans can't help but wish for more ... 

2. Martin vs. Shin-Soo Choo controversy 

The bat-flip wouldn't have been so worthwhile for Jays fans without this: Russell Martin's throw to Aaron Sanchez casually hitting Shin-Soo Choo's bat and rolling down the third-base line. 

The controversy: Rougned Odor ran home and the Rangers took the lead, and nobody seemed clear on the rule.

3. Jays nation

We're not done with Game 5 of the Blue Jays vs. Rangers series just yet. After a handful of controversial calls by the umpires, Jays fans resorted to throwing beer bottles on the field during the top of the seventh. (WARNING: Rangers fans might find some language offensive.)

In the midst of unhappy Jays fans and flying beers, a baby was showered with playoff beer. The man responsible for the showering was charged with mischief. 

Has this become a baseball rite of passage?

4. Pitch Perfect

Marco Estrada's ALCS Game 5 against the Kansas Royals is engraved in all Jays minds. After throwing the game of his life, Estrada received a standing ovation from fans:

For the next few days, the pitcher was making every headline.

5. Cliff Pennington 

Prior to Game 4 of the ALCS against the Kansas Royals, Cliff Pennington had never pitched in the big leagues. (He had pitched in high school and college.)

According to the MLB, no position-only player has ever come in to pitch in the post-season. 

Although the Jays were getting a beat-down from the Royals, it was a historic day for Pennington. 

Pennington's first pitch was a 91-mph strike. He then gave up a couple of hits and a couple of runs, but some fans thought his performance earned him a start in their next game.
