TORONTO — There was a contact of Kirk Gibson and a whole lot of Joe Carter.
George Springer, gimpy however recreation, hit a very powerful homer for the Blue Jays since a ball that went to the identical neighborhood in what was then known as the SkyDome. That was on Oct. 23, 1993, when Carter pulled a Mitch Williams pitch into the left discipline seats for a three-run launch that turned a one-run deficit into an 8-6 walk-off World Sequence-ending victory over the Phillies.
That gave Toronto consecutive championships and marked the final time it was within the World Sequence.
Till now.
