yeah it's a pretty amorphous term, seems to refer to non-established stars in this case?

The '93 Phillies were "blue-collar": rough and tumble, no glamorous stars, cast-offs, looked like they should have been in a bar band or something. To a certain extent, I think it can be code for white--but the Phillies did have Mariano Duncan, Kim Batiste, and Ben Rivera in prominent roles. I remember it as a mostly white and disheveled-looking bunch, though: Dykstra, Kruk, Mitch Williams, Incaviglia, etc.

The Jays at the time were viewed as aristocratic and machine-like by contrast, best exemplified by Alomar.

No baseball player is blue collar. Minimum salary is $500k right? So

iirc the 2004 red sox were supposed to be blue collar because johnny damon and kevin millar were scruffy

Only Matt Stairs, even if he's a billionaire now.
