Nippon Blue Jays

The Nippon Blue Jays are a baseball team that play in the Campeonato Brasileiro de Beisebol (CBB), the top division of baseball in Brazil. They are the most successful team in the tournament, with 12 championships since 1993. The team is owned by and based at the Nippon Country Club, a Japanese Brazilian country club in Arujá, São Paulo.

The team is not officially affiliated with the Toronto Blue Jays of Major League Baseball, but uses their logo and colors. This stems from José Pett, a Brazilian pitcher who signed with the MLB Blue Jays in 1993 as an international free agent; Pett's Brazilian club adopted the name “Blue Jays” in his honor, with the permission of the Toronto franchise. Toronto even donated authentic uniforms to the Brazilian club, upon Pett's request.
