Touch 'Em All Joe! Carter's World Series Winning Home Run!

October 23, 1993: Joe Carter hits the game-winning, three-run, walk-off home run against the Philadelphia Phillies in the bottom of the 9th inning as the Toronto Blue Jays became back-to-back World Series Champions!

[@originalotrex]

If you're Joe Carter, you never need another memory for the rest of your life. That's it - just sit back, have a nice sandwich, and put the rest of your life on cruise control.

[@Ea-Nasir_Copper_Co]

And if you happen to be visiting Toronto, don't bother even offering to pay for that sandwich.

[@wiovelli]

Yep I assume he has never bought a drink since that day

[@carsonneal]

I can't even imagine that feeling.... crazy shit

No HOF? That would be a nice memory too!

[@Gojaysgo83]

Yep, the BEST memory you could ever hope for in terms of your working career 🎉

[@RCfromtheNYC]

One of the greatest calls in World Series history, by Blue Jays broadcaster Thomas Cheek, came from this at-bat. "Touch 'em all, Joe! You'll never hit a bigger home run in your life!". Rest in Paradise, Mr. Cheek.

[@playdiscgolf1546]

Does it get any better than hitting a walk off to win the World Series? If he was in Boston or NY it would be THE most iconic moment.

As a Blue Jays fan, and someone who was 10 years old and watching this in my parents basement as it happened, this is also my favourite moment in MLB history 🙂

[@mickeydrago9401]

​@@rodsmith8118 That was a bigger more important one for a number of reasons... I mean most all Americans will look at Toronto as a bottom of the barrel Major League baseball team if only because it's in Canada and a newer team, especially in 1993 Bill hit his at home in the seventh game against a dynasty that picked up the steam in the next two years... And it was far less expected of Bill compared to Joe... And Pittsburgh hadn't had a World series under their belt since 1925 I'll assume this is the first World series for the Blue Jays, but I don't know (second in a row as I learned...)

[@mickeydrago9401]

​@@ducttape82 It's underrated for sure...

My mom named me Carter after Joe Carter and watching this sent shivers down my spine and I’m not even a baseball fan

The thing that always gets me about this particular moment is how loud the crowd pops. It's crazy loud in a way that I don't hear much anymore. Watching the entire crowd lose it's stuff at the same time is amazing every time I watch this clip.

Incredible. I'll never forget watching Carter's home run live. As a 12 year old Blue Jays fan at the time, winning back to back World Series made me think they were a yearly occurrence. I had a lot to learn. Go Jays Go!

[@somethingelsedoesmatter]

I got into baseball as a kid. I don't remember how many years I watched it - not many - but I remember watching and cheering both times the Jays won. Shortly after, my interest in the sport dropped off. Now that I have a kid, who happened to ask to join baseball himself this summer, I'm back to watching and collecting cards, with him. I would LOVE to have a similar experience with my son as I did with my father, and see the Jays win the World Series again!

[@glawrence]

That's why I took my kid out of school for the Raptors parade. Enjoy this kid, we don't get many of these.

I watched this as it happened. It was amazing. Truly incredible. However I get the feeling it is almost ignored in baseball history because it happened to a Canadian team on Canadian soil. If it were the Yankees or the Cubs or something like that it would be revisited every year. What Carter achieved was the ultimate baseball moment and it is rarely discussed.

This is when people still respected the game enough to not make it all about themselves. His reaction hitting the biggest HR anyone can hit, yet you look at the players today who have little respect for the game and they are walking, chucking their bats, and taunting players. Gosh, societal decline is real.

Will never forget watching this on my rabbit ears TV as a 6th grader in the Philadelphia suburbs. Def one of the more painful memories in our long troubled sports history, but one that I surely appreciate now that I’m older and decades have passed. Also I know that 🤡 Fregosi took his decision to march Mitch Williams and his dead arm out there, to his grave.

I just realized, Williams went to the slide step on that pitch. If I’m pitching coach…or a teammate, I’m telling him to forget the runner. Get the hitter. Then he and the rest of the Phillies took that ultimate Walk of Shame off the field….

[@mickeydrago9401]

An underrated home run which I believe is because it was the Blue Jays and Joe Carter wasn't a big enough name until then! And with Mazeroski in 1960 it was the seventh game and beating the Yankees and Pittsburgh hadn't had a World series since 1925 so that was a bigger one... And unexpected because of Bill Mazeroski and his size and not much of a home run hitter...
