George Bell, Lloyd Moseby, Damaso Garcia, Ernie Whitt, Dave Stieb, Tom Henke; unless one of these guys is your father or you follow baseball with more than a casual interest, you'd never know these guys are Toronto Blue Jays, the champions of the American League East. Anonymity is one of the Blue Jays' great strengths. Nobody really took Sports Illustrated too seriously when they chose Toronto as the best team in baseball in this season's preview issue. And even on Saturday afternoon, when the Blue Jays beat the pesky Yankees to clinch the AL East, there was not one player you could point to and say, "he's the reason they won it." No Blue Jay will win the American League MVP or Cy Young award this season but Toronto may well win the AL pennant. They are a "team" in the old sense of the word. This means more than that they wear uniforms that look alike and ride on the same bus to games, . the Blue Jays are a group of consistent athletes who complement each other consummately. They have no starting .300 hitters and no 20-game winning pitchers, but they have 99 wins, more than any other team in the American League. If Toronto has a particular strength it is pitching. Dave Stieb and Jimmy Key are first and fourth respectively in league earned run average and the oft recycled Doyle Alexander leads the Almost one in four adult Americans has high blood pressure.

Out of the bullpen, Tom "the Canadian Goose" Henke has come out of nowhere (i.e. the Syracuse Triple A team) to become the stopper, registering 13 saves in only half a season. At the plate, Toronto strikes fear into few pitchers' hearts statistically, but they are opportunistic. Lloyd Moseby (37 stolen bases) and Damaso Garcia find ways to reach base so little-known offensive threats like George Bell (the team leader with 28 HRs and 95 RBI), Jesse Barfield and Ernie Whitt can knock them in with timely hits. The obvious Achilles Heel for Toronto is post-season experience. When the Blue Jays take the field tonight, not one of the players nervously tossing the baseball will have ever played in a playoff game before. But go ahead and ask Billy Martin if Toronto can play under pressure. . The Blue Jays will have the home field advantage as they open the championship series tonight in Toronto against Kansas City. But their ace in the hole may be tradition. The AL East team has represented the league in the World Series every year for the last decade, except in 1980. The exception was the K.C. Royals. If Toronto can hide George Brett's Preparation H, continue to slap the big two-out run scoring single to center, and obey mighty tradition, this group of under-publicized over-achievers will bring the World Series north of the border for the first time ever.

West championship in 10 years last week. Unfortunately for the boys of Brett, four of their previous five championships resulted in losses to teams from the East in the A.L. Playoffs. In fact, the A.L. East team has won the playoffs every time but once (1980, when the Royals beat the Yankees) since 1974. Statistics like that don't shine too brightly on Kansas City's chances to dethrone the Toronto Blue Jays when the teams' best-of-seven series begins tonight in Toronto (8 p.m., Ch. 28). But hold the presses, folks. There are a few points in the Royals' favor as they head into the junior circuit's first-ever all-Astroturf playoff series. First of all, experience. The Blue Jays bring only nine combined years of playoff experience, and five of those come from seldom-used Al Oliver's days with the Pirates. The Royals, mean while, bring 31 years of combined playoff experience into this series. That's not always an indication of the victor (witness Detroit last year), but it could make a difference. Secondly, the Royals know how to beat the Blue Jays. In head-to-head play during the regular season, Kansas City won seven of the 12 meetings, splitting the six games in Toronto.

Another factor in K.C's favor is its left-handed pitching: Toronto is 24-26 in decisions against left-handers, and the Royals' lefty starters (Charlie Liebrandt, Danny Jackson and Bud Black) are 5-0 with a 1.97 ERA against Toronto this year. Probably the biggest factor in the Royals' favor goes by the name of George Brett. The Kansas City third baseman, healthy all year for the first time since 1979, has had a killer season. He hit .335 this year, with 108 runs scored, 112 runs batted in, 103 walks, 30 home runs and a .585 slugging percentage. Awesome. Brett has also traditionally done well in the playoffs .338 with six home runs in his five previous series, including the pennant-winning home run in Yankee Stadium off Goose Gossage in 1980. To top that off, George went wild the final week of the season, hitting two inside-the-park homers in three games. But Brett's not all the Royals have. Second baseman Frank White had a career-high 22 home runs, first baseman Steve Balboni hit a career-high 36, and Lonnie Smith and Willie Wilson (21 triples) bring - playoff experience and speed to the Royals' outfield. Throw in 21-year-old pitcher Bret Saberhagen (20-6 with a 2.87 ERA), who has an excellent chance at the A.L. Cy Young Award, and veteran relief ace Dan Quisenberry, and it's easy to see why the Blue Jays will have a tussle on their hands when they go at it tonight. Maybe this time the Royals will be able to forget about their oh-so-frustrating playoff past. sam.iiw ELLIOT ROAD at E. FRANKLiN 967-4737 $ 250 TIL 6:00 PM EVERYDAY!
