There are lots and lots of ways to determine a draft order in a fantasy football league.
It’s safe to say you’ve never done it quite like the Toronto Blue Jays.
They took part in their process on Thursday before their game at the Rogers Centre in Toronto against the Chicago Cubs.
Each member of the league put their uniform number on a small army figurine with a parachute attached.
Then, a staffer went up into the rafters with the figurines, while the players waited near a bucket on the ground.
Whoever’s figurine landed closest got first pick, and so on.

According to the Blue Jays’ broadcast team, left-handed starting pitcher Eric Lauer landed the closest and got the No. 1 pick.

This is definitely a tough one to pull off at home without a domed stadium and some rafters to walk around in.

Maybe the Blue Jays can rent out the space for avid fantasy players to pull off the same trick.
Regardless, the event created some good vibes for Toronto. The Blue Jays took the field on Thursday and beat the Cubs, 2-1. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a late go-ahead home run, and Seranthony Dominguez escaped a key jam out of the bullpen.
Toronto remains in first in the AL East, and now they’ve got a fun fantasy league to look forward to, as well.
