Joe Carter, the man who hit the biggest home run in Toronto Blue Jays history, sat in his home theater and watched history repeat itself more than three decades later.
It was like an out-of-body experience, watching a near replay of himself, circling the bases, jumping up and down after hitting the game-winning home run in the 1993 World Series that made him a Canadian national hero.
Now, nearly 32 years to the day, George Springer etched his name forever in Blue Jays folklore, hitting a dramatic three-run, seventh-inning home run to lift the Blue Jays into the World Series past the Seatle Mariners, 4-3.
The sellout crowd of 44,770 at the Rogers Centre screamed in euphoria.
Carter screamed in his house, startling his wife and daughter who were pacing upstairs, with his whole neighborhood in Leawood, Kansas hearing the jubilation.
