JOE CARTER 1993 Home Run with the call by Tom Cheek

[@SuperStrik9]

"Touch 'em all Joe you'll never hit a bigger home run in your life!" = PURE GOOSEBUMPS! Greatest line and call ever.

[@battalion99]

+SuperStrik9 Happens every time I hear it lol. Hope they do it this year

[@kellyeslinger6178]

+SuperStrik9 Best radio call in Toronto baseball history, period.

[@maxallen3438]

I'm English. I've never watched a game of Baseball in my life. Live or on TV. I've never been to Toronto. I've never been to Canada. And yet for some reason this is one of my favourite sporting moments and commentaries of all time. As everyone says - shivers, goosebumps - the works. There's just something totally magical about it. Special moment. Special time.

[@Jivanmuktaintraining]

It was electric, especially as a diehard Jays fan from T.O. Sadly, this home run doesn't get its due because it was accomplished by a non-US team. Were it for the benefit of the NY Yankees, a photo of the event would grace a postage stamp. Regardless, a home run to win a championship has never been done before or since and is, undeniably, the greatest and most impactful moment in baseball history.

[@SirNic4180]

I have that same connection. It's weird. And I live in Minnesota.

[@oxyjenn23]

I'm from Toronto and was around 12 years old at the time. I listened to the radio with the tv on silent. When Joe hit the run, it was a crack of his bat that I'll remember. Dancing and jumping and hugging my family. I didn't see the replay until the next day. TV broadcast didn't match how ridiculously amazing the moment was

[@ChopperRead]

35 year old man sitting here crying....thanks for the memories Joe!

[@aaronguerrero985]

Me too man. My wife’s 29. I was telling her about it this morning in bed and teared up LOL. I had to watch it

[@rapidrevolver420]

It gets me everytime, I remember that game so well, I was with my dad we were outside skydome and it erupted, people were climbing the flag poles to get Jays flags, I was 5 when that happened, it made me fall in love with baseball, been a fan ever since.

[@RedroomStudios]

ya, the drama of the back and forth momentum in that series made this so intense when Carter ended it all! I have probably watched this 1000 times over the years. never gets old. such emotion from Carter and Molitor! just beautiful to see.

[@mikesbaseballcards]

Joe Carter SHOULD BE in the HALL of Fame!!

[@brankobelan4561]

I remember this as a 13 year old...I cried; I jumped around the house; I just loved the whole thing. One of only two guys to walk off in a World Series. It doesn't get better than that. And, to Tom Cheek I will say this..."Touch 'em all, Joe; you'll never hit a bigger one in your life." Hands down the greatest call of my childhood.

[@colinknight4059]

I have tears now!

[@seanwebb605]

You have it wrong. If you watched the game on TV you didn't hear Tom Cheek. You only would have heard him if you were listening on radio instead of watching on TV.

[@bendonnelly690]

Exactly. OP is a liar and a dumbass, haha.

[@CanadaMMA]

Or he could have been listening on the radio. I don't see anything in his post that says he was watching it on t.v

[@rpgmindandfitness]

He never even said he heard Cheek's original call. All he said was that he HAS heard it and it's great.

[@frankc2120]

29 years later & this still gives me chills...one of the best walk off home runs & call by Tom Cheek ever in my opinion

[@bentheswitchsportsfan06]

"Touch em' all Joe! You'll never hit a bigger home run in your life!" That made me smile. I really miss Tom Cheek.

[@NEPatriot]

One of the greatest World Series calls ever. And this from a Yankees fan...but I am a baseball fan first and foremost.

[@TheGiua1973]

Always gets me to see Paul Molitor in tears after finally gettting his ring. And what a player and contributor to this team he was.

[@RedroomStudios]

yep, so happy for him AND to be the MVP of the series too!

[@petermccowatt3958]

I was 15 rows behind home plate, bought scalper seats just before game time...best ticket purchase of my life...after the home run we spilled out into the street and, not kidding, the throng of joyous people was so dense I was moving along with the crowd and my feet weren't touching the ground. I ended up, on foot, at Yonge and St. Clair and a local pub and a whole lotta lotta! Way to go Joe!

[@DaraLazy]

peter mccowatt I'd give anything to have been there! My 12 year old self would have gone nuts

[@solitairedoll]

peter mccowatt That was QUITE a walk. Wow.

[@otaviofrn_adv]

Worth every penny inveated (for this, no waste)

[@MrRklewis]

Every time I see this, I laugh at how happy Joe Carter was. I mean, this man really enjoyed his moment and it makes me happy just watching him enjoying himself.

[@moxxieNmils_]

yeah, feels. The closest moment we’ll ever get to that is Jose bautista’s 3 run homer in 2015

[@EbluestarE]

@@moxxieNmils_ the biggest one for me was David Ortiz’s grand slam in the 13 ALCS. Down by four runs. Who else would’ve done that other than Ortiz!

[@elizabethbaldwin6657]

I watched this with my Dad. One of the best memories EVER.

[@BrettUpton1]

I was in SkyDome, as it was known, when that home run was hit. Twenty-two years later. Still doesn't get old!

[@PoeticAce]

I was 10 years old when this happened...I was in band at the time and I remember grabbing my Trombone, running outside, and blasting that thing in the street LOL

[@soulchorea]

Love this...soon as Carter stepped to the plate, my dad goes, "Carter's gonna knock it out of there" and then boom. Joe Carter instantly becomes my favorite player lol.

[@jasonmarcel4823]

I was 17 and watching it with my mom. We were on the edge of our seats in anticipation, but it did feel like Joe was going to do something. We had been to about 6 or 7 games that year, and Joe won like 2 or 3 of those games. His average will keep him from the HoF, but holy crap was that guy ever clutch. Didn't break a sweat in those kinds of situations.

[@tricesimo]

I had a feeling the Jays would win it when Henderson called time but Williams threw wildly. As soon as I saw Carter coming to the plate, I told my brother - he ended it last year...

[@emilycathcart7387]

Your dad hit the nail right on the head! 😁

[@seanwebb605]

@@jasonmarcel4823 Not just his batting average. He lacked key numbers to warrant serious consideration for election into the Baseball Hall of Fame. He was well below the all time leaders in hits, home runs, runs batted in, fielding percentage etc. He never won a league MVP award. He never won a post season MVP award i.e. American League Championship Series or World Series MVP. He only had two Silver Slugger awards and never won a Gold Glove award. Nice guy and he had some good numbers. For a few seasons he was among the leaders. But when compared to the all time greats and the best of his era he was below the threshold needed to be thought of as a hall of famer.

[@alejandro3485]

39 years old today. Have zero ties to Toronto or the Blue Jays or the Phillies but I remember exactly where I was sitting in my parents living room watching this entire series. I recorded every game on VHS. Remember being allowed to stay up past bedtime to watch the game on school nights. Stopping it when commercials started. Starting it when commercials ended. Hitting play + record at the same time to initiate recording lol. Remember thinking my dad would be mad for using so many blank VHS tapes. Remember watching John kruk chewing tobacco and when I started playing baseball in school I would shove as much beef jerky chew as I could in my mouth. Good times.

I could not get enough baseball back then. I was just eight years old at the time I saw this. While this game was on tv, my mom wanted me to go to bed because it was getting late, but my dad convinced her to let me stay up to see Carter bat, considering he was my favourite player at the time. I guess I stayed awake just long enough to see one of the greatest moments ever in baseball.

[@fotofilmstudios]
