The home run marked the second World Series win in Toronto Blue Jays history. The Blue Jays achieved the feat in consecutive years, 1992 and 1993. The franchise then had a 32-year drought from reaching the Fall Classic before Toronto made it there again in 2025. This just adds more lore to Carter's iconic game and series winner.

Veteran Jack Morris, also a Hall of Famer, won his third World Series and second in as many years with a 21-win season in the Blue Jays' rotation, while the midseason addition of starter David Cone through a deal with the New York Mets proved to be highly impactful.

North St. Paul’s Louie Varland is a key part of this year’s Jays bullpen, but those first Toronto winners featured local Hall of Famers Dave Winfield, Paul Molitor and Jack Morris.

The Toronto Blue Jays will be back in a somewhat familiar spot when the World Series kicks off on Friday against the L.A. Dodgers. The blue birds famously won the coveted Commissioner’s Trophy back-to-back in 1992 and 1993.

Nobody in the Blue Jays’ lineup for Game 5 of the World Series, an emphatic 6-1 thumping of the Dodgers, was alive in 1993.
