"The Toronto Blue Jays are heading back to the World Series for the first time in over three decades and the world, the city, and even the way people watch sports has drastically changed since then. The Jays are hosting the powerhouse Los Angeles Dodgers at Rogers Centre Friday, marking the first time the team has played in the World Series since the 1990s, when they won it all versus the Atlanta Braves in 1992, and the Philadelphia Phillies in 1993."
"The decisive home run by Joe Carter in that game, with legendary radio announcer Tom Cheek exclaiming, "Touch 'em all, Joe," became one of the most iconic moments in Canadian sports history. WATCH | Carter's decisive home run: George Springer's massive blast to win Game 7 of the American League Championship Series gave fans a similarly huge moment in 2025 and with hopefully more to come in this series with the Dodgers."
The Toronto Blue Jays return to the World Series for the first time in over three decades, hosting the Los Angeles Dodgers at Rogers Centre. The team last played in the Fall Classic in the early 1990s, winning titles in 1992 and 1993. Many current players and fans were not yet born when Toronto last reached the World Series. The decisive 1993 home run by Joe Carter, accompanied by radio announcer Tom Cheek's "Touch 'em all, Joe," remains an iconic Canadian sports moment. In 1993 the Maple Leafs lost to the Los Angeles Kings, the Montreal Canadiens won the Stanley Cup, and the Argonauts finished 3-15.
