Top 10 Most Iconic Toronto Blue Jays Home Runs EVER

[@sportsnet]

Which of these bombs was your favourite?

[@thedude3065]

It's Carter's without contest we may go another thirty years until baseball ever sees something like that again I give flowers to Bautista's for it's impact on the game's overall culture

[@keaganknowles519]

Bautistas bat flip and Joe carter

[@Scrum67]

Alomars was number 3 and you didn't put it in. You know nothing of baseball in Toronto. Last time I watch a video of yours

[@joeng4057]

As Jay's fan i appreciate you guy's for even letting us voice our opinions but as you can see the comments say it all

[@MyWordsReignSupreme]

Alomar off of Ecks needs to be on this list regardless of what he did in his private life

[@david.draper]

Where’s Alomar’s home run against Dennis Ecksersly in 1992??

[@Revenger3rdUnit]

He got cancelled for domestic abuse

[@agolzad]

Roberto Alomar's HR against Dennis Eckersley in game 4 of ALCS is the 2nd biggest HR in Blue Jays history. It was because of that hit which Jays won that series and subsequently won its first ever World Series Championship. Mind you, Eckersley was the most feared closer in the Major League those years and he won the Cy Young award that year as well. I urge all you young baseball fans to find the video on YT and watch it. Such an amazing swing by Robbie and such an important HR it was too.

[@PierLuc111]

Once or twice a year , I look at the whole inning to truly feel Bautista's homerun.

[@sportsnet]

Goosebumps every single time.

[@keaganknowles519]

Fr I rewatched the whole game the other day on yt

"The 7eventh" is a fun video here on KZbin to re-live that moment

[@packersauburneric3625]

As red Sox fan I think this is nostalgic lol

[@christopherjones4901]

Did we really leave off Alomar’s ?

[@Roller11111]

Left off Alomar's homer? It's literally the most important in Blue Jays history.

[@bassdogmarco]

At the time yes

[@LiVS15]

Most important was Carter’s World Series clincher. How can any be more important than that?

[@CharlesFristians]

@@LiVS15 agree but alomar's is a close 2. no hr off eckersley, who knows if they win the WS that year, and what kind of changes might have happened

[@JasonJackson-k6z]

Stroman, but NOT Robbie in game 4 in Oakland. RIDICULOUS

[@orangepenguin84]

Agreed, I would think that was a consensus #3, behind Carter and Bautista but ahead of Encarnacion and Sprague. Top 5 at least.

[@tuckersdadnb]

I believe it is because of his actions at the end of his career. Robbie is my favorite Jay, he got a lot of hate though.

[@a18yearoldonyoutubeluigi]

Or Pearce’s walk off slam?

[@Revenger3rdUnit]

Robbie Alomar got cancelled lol I think that's why they left him off the list

[@leafs130071996]

oh true that's right i forgot he was cancelled @@tuckersdadnb

[@marcwalton3822]

Honorable mention: Johnny Mac on fathers day. Five days after his father had passed away.

[@Robis2349]

Should have been on the list for sure, that HR was something else!

[@bryanizzard7795]

That is an honorable mention for sure. That's where Stroman's belongs as well. Alomar, top three for sure.

[@giancarloubaldino2340]

I knew when I clicked that Joe Carter's would be number 1. It couldn't possibly be anything else.

[@LexTan]

1. I still love how CBS didn't anticipate how loud SkyDome could be, because the microphones initially clipped hard after Joe Carter won it all. You can still hear it a bit here in this video, but I could imagine how insane SkyDome must have been on that night in 1993 2. That primal scream from the crowd after Jose Bautista hit his homerun is one of my favorite moments of pure joy from a Toronto sports fan base. 3. How could the title of Encarnacion's home run not include the word, "Wildcard"? It was more than just a Walk-off home run in Extra innings!

[@cantpleasonist]

This list is completely inaccurate without Alomar's home run.

[@Mr4one6]

Lol they’re done with him

[@christopherlee2515]

Fully agree.

[@lucky247365]

Trying to rewrite history by cancelling Robbie's home run? F off! It was one of the most critical home runs in Jays history.

[@videeau]

This list is a joke without Alomar's home run.

[@videeau]

@@lucky247365 The Jays probably don't win the 92 Series, and maybe not even the 93 Series, without the Alomar home run off Eckersley.

[@meditativeminds7621]

Did Alomar get "cancelled" by Sportsnet?

[@matthewcox9821]

Why did you INTENTIONALLY leave out Alomar's homerun?

[@alexjessop5330]

It's not on there because they don't wanna celebrate him because he touch the 18 year olds breasts while working for the jays. Thats why they took him off the level of excellence. I think He'll be back one day, because compared to other current hall of famers and still active players, His was more sad and pathetic than evil. But for now you can't celebrate him. I agree it is the most important moment in franchise history.

[@matthewcox9821]

I figured as much but one has nothing to do with the other.

[@kyleroyce4365]

It was worse than that. He was having unprotected sex with women while he knowingly had HIV​@@alexjessop5330

[@sean9983]

I agree Alomar Homer was deservedly, and easily number three if not, number two.

[@djl9919]

I know it's not Iconic but it's special to me. John McDonald fathers Day HR after coming back from the bereavement list losing his father having 0 HR. John your an all-star in my books.

[@alexanderesposito5672]

Was half expecting that one too

[@Wemyss333]

Remember Alomar? Sportsnet doesn't

[@klrd4070]

apparently the Jays didn’t have a second basemen in the early 90s.

[@sianspherica]

How does Robbie Alomar vs Eckerskey in the ALCS not make this list?!! You cannot possibly tell fans that Stroman's meaningless HR during the regular season is more important than that homer.

[@emupike6]

man Delgado's swing so iconic, and I miss my favorite Jay Encarnacion!

[@ChrisFlood-kq4ov]

How is Alomar's HR against the A's not on this list?! That's a disgusting omission, Sportsnet. It's arguably the 2nd most iconic HR (behind Carter's WS HR) or at worst 3rd (Bautista's HR against Texas at #2). Embarassing.

[@JohnReid99]

Where is Alomar's home run in Oakland? Bigger than Bautista's to be sure and arguably on par with Carter's. Preposterous but I should have expected nothing less from sportsnet.

[@ronburgundyspetfish]

6:14 just imagine that feeling of SMASHING that ball …. I get chills watching it alone ,also where is ALOMAR!?!?

[@CupOfJav]

Those were obviously going to be the top 2. Bats' homer had a ton of relief on top of everything else after the way that inning went. (Gibby still should have bunted with Pompey on 3rd in the CS.)

[@videeau]

In addition to Alomar's home run off Eckersley (who was at the time considered the GOAT closer), where's Bautista's home run in the 8th inning of Game 6 against the Royals?

[@HammerJammer81]

Alomar's HR off Eckersley is the top HR on this list, PERIOD. Without that clutch HR there is no 92 ALCS clinch! How the hell is Stroman on here? Come one SportsNet ..

[@stevewilson134]

Blessed to have witnessed all of these in my lifetime. Carlos Delgado was a beast!! However, as noted by many others, Alomar's homerun off Dennis Eckersley ought to have been included.

[@Robis2349]

They forgot when Frank Thomas hit his 500th home run on June 28th, 2007 against the Twins. Only 28 MLB players have ever his 500 or more. This home run should have been on the list.

[@GG-uv9ok]

Insane to me that Alomar's HR in Oakland in '92 wasn't on this list... what the hell!!?

[@rustyshackleford5704]

Alomar 1992 vs Eckersley is number 2. Only Caters's WS winning Homerun is bigger.

[@78smusicman]

Great memories

[@bassdogmarco]

These corporate idiots can pretend Robbie didn't exist all they want but Alomar's bomb in 1992 should be ranked #3

[@klrd4070]

there’s an argument it could be #1

[@Jackson_Farnsworth]

#2

[@phillydefer24]

​@rck4070 I'd say highest 2 , nothing is bigger than a world series clinching walk off

[@estilkind]

Glad Sprague got some recognition. Noone will ever top the Top 2, but he deserved that 3 spot.

[@kurtmooreca]

Has Alomar been cancelled? because his HR vs Oakland was easily top 3 in our history.

[@andrewsheehy9938]

Should've had the first ever Home Run at SkyDome hit by Fred McGriff and Paul Molitor's Solo Home Run in the 1993 AL East Clincher against the Brewers on the list.

[@alexanderesposito5672]

Listen, I know Robbie is garbage as a person but his HR still deserves to be on this list.

[@sportsmaster1364]

Steve Pearce's second walk-off grand-slam in the same week should have made the list. That was MLB history made there, no other player has done that and that capped a 7-run inning that salvaged a game we were destined to lose.

[@sean9983]

I remember exactly where I was when Joe hit that homer, and I’ll never forget it. I only can hope that my son gets to see the Blue Jays do it in his lifetime… maybe even as one of the team who knows?!?

[@lucky247365]

Seems like the Jays are intent to completely remove all existence of Robbie Alomar playing for the Jays. He is still part of our history no matter what he did in his personal life...which to this day has not been revealed.

[@bryanizzard7795]

I've watched most of these while they happened, but only one of them in person. The energy in the stadium for Edwin's clincher was like nothing I've ever felt at a sporting event, and I was there for Kawhi's shot. I'd still give it to Carter. Alomar top three, along with bat flip.

[@jopflah416]

2 more: Danny Ainge becoming the youngest Jay to Homer followed by Vlad Jr. becoming the youngest.

[@jakew305]

No "woke" Sportsnet. The greatest home run in Jays history was hit by Roberto Alomar. With a single swing of a bat, the Blue Jays went from underachievers to champions. He changed that team in one single moment.

[@sals79]

What the hell?! Where's Alomar's Home run?! 🤦‍♂️

[@jjmalm]

Bob Costas was bitter in both 92 and 93. Voice don't lie. Nothing made me happier than hearing Bob Coatas having to call back to back world series wins outside of the US

[@yamez75]

That's NOT Bob Costas. It's Sean McDonough.

[@a18yearoldonyoutubeluigi]

I guess that’s a pretty solid list. It’s kinda slim picking for the most part

[@brycemcneil4404]

Alomar's home run not only should be on the list, you can make a compelling case for it being #1, even above and beyond a WS walkoff (which is saying something).

[@JohnnyBoy1533]

I am surprised they didn’t include the home run in the game in 1987 that they broke and set the MLB record for most home runs in a game, a record that still stands.

[@MrKaywyn]

They also left off Molitor's home run in game 6 of the '93 World Series.

[@dmcneillie21]

Alomar off Eckersley, game 4 of '92 ALCS should be the #1 HR in franchise history. Without that, Joe might not have ever had his moment to touch 'em all.

[@truthmongeror]

Where is the Alomar homer off Eckersley 1992 ALCS

[@steveod2]

It's too bad the most important home run in team history has been erased

[@M1643]

Im Sorry Leaving Roberto Alomar's HR vs Oakland in Game 4 of the 92 ALCS off the list is an absolute travesty! Yes the guy is a complete scum bag however that doesn't take away from how important that home run was.

[@klrd4070]

Leaving off Alomars home run from the 92 LCS renders this list irrelevant. shameful

[@CanadaMMA]

I understand why Alomar got left off, but I am legitimately surprised George Bell's walk off HR at the final game at Exhibition stadium isn't here.

[@joea1683]

[@Qmocean]

Drop that stroman one off the list, and drop everyone ftom bautista down back 1. Alomar off eckersley is #2. Idgaf what anyone says about bat flip being bigger. It wasn't.

[@Robis2349]

I could never really understand why after Joe Carter came home and the team was celebrating, the cameras cut to the philies dugout and all we saw was a guy wearing a pair of purple doc martin boots? Who was he & what was he doing there?

Facts

[@indiraguppy2304]

Its a bit surprising to read the comments and see how many people were fans enough to watch this video, yet dont seem to know or recall that Alomar was cancelled once and for all by the Toronto Blue Jays organization. Alomar was my all-time favorite Blue Jay but I can accept and understand the Organization did attempt to stand by him and celebrated him as a legend, but after yet another investigation and controversy, they had to disown him completely. Level of excellence, HOF banner and historical video nostalgia all removed and never to be acknowledged again. The Blue Jays mean it this time: Alomar is banished for life.

[@Jackson_Farnsworth]

@indiraguppy2304 they all recall. They're just smart enough to understand his cancelation is a joke, like your comment.
