It might’ve only been a 2 year rivalry, but you could see how much these two teams didn’t like each other. That’s what made this brief 2 year rivalry so much fun to watch because it was intense and there was legitimate bad blood mostly because of Game 5 Inning 7.

Joe carter walked it off in 93. 92's win was just a basic ground out

That call made complete sense. Nobody was interfering, it was a live ball. Toronto's fans were just being salty. I won't complain though cause it gave us the most epic half inning in postseason history, and the greatest homerun/bat flip EVER.

[@rowdybeast0809]

You gotta understand tho, that was a win or go home situation, and that call, even though it was right, could've lost us everything.

[@Flexb123]

@@nflmlbclassics Its only behind Kawhi's shot because Jays didn't win it all. That jays game was way more electric and intense. Even the sometimes biased MLB.com writers said it was the most emotionally charged game they had ever seen. But that batflip was so big for baseball, it created a movement "let the kids play, stemmed from that. Batlfip and big HR celebrations happen so much more now because of that and each one if compared to Jose's batflip. Its the benchmark. One of the MLB.com writers even said had Jays have won it all that year, Jose's batflip would be MLB logo for decades to come. Its a shame they didn't make it past the next round cause they were good enough to win it all. Just didn't get lucky enough vs KC.

[@raptorspostgametalk]

Yes one of the most historical moment in Toronto sports history you can also add 1. Joe Carter 1993 world series walk off home run in game 6 2. Kawhi Leonard game 7 buzzer beater in the East semi finals 3. Doug Gilmour's wrap around winning goal against St. Louis in the playoffs 4.

What a seventh inning. Just so much emotion and tempers flaring and the Rangers not being able to operate even a routine play. Look, I get that the audience didn't get the two "controversial" calls to go their way (even though neither was really disputable), but the audience needs to keep their emotions in check as much as the players do. Stop throwing beer bottles and enjoy the game. And then there's the issue with Encarnacion trying to calm down the audience and causing a brawl in the process. I get it, he was trying to do the right thing, he just chose the wrong time to do it. And then on top of that, there was one of the most memorable moments in Jose Bautista's career. That seventh inning will always be known for The Bat Flip, not the stuff that led up to it and maybe that's for the best.

@cacable7: you brought up the 12-run difference, not me. The entirety of that difference can be explained by one game. The rest of it was two teams who were evenly matched, albeit in two very different ways. I'm not saying KC was a bad team; far from it. They were a very good team that year, arguably a great team.
