Paul Molitor was at home Monday night watching Game 7 of the American League Championship Series when a George Springer at-bat took him back in time. Toronto trailed 3-1 in the seventh inning. Addison Barger was on second base. Twin-for-a-day Isiah Kiner-Falefa was on first.

Now 69, Molitor says the crowd atmosphere during the Blue Jays’ postseason run this Fall has sparked memories of 1993 which concluded with Joe Carter’s famous walk-off home run in Game 6 of the World Series to eliminate the Philadelphia Phillies and clinch their second straight league title.

Over 32 years after Joe Carter hit his historic homerun to win the 1993 World Series for the Toronto Blue Jays, the baseball legend believes the current roster has what it takes.

Former Blue Jays star Joe Carter joked that he nearly had a medical issue after watching George Springer lead Toronto to the World Series.

Sprinter’s home run brought Houston fans more than just nostalgia on Monday. He also eliminated the Astros’ bitter rival, the Seattle Mariners, whose fans cheered after Springer was hit by a pitch in Game 5. Seattle is now vanquished, and another Astros rival now awaits the Blue Jays in the World Series--the Los Angeles Dodgers.

For the first time in 32 years, the Toronto Blue Jays are heading to the World Series, and they’re going to be getting a boost by one of the most famous players in franchise history: Joe Carter.
