This is home run time in baseball. And the Blue Jays haven\u0027t hit enough of them this season. The playoff history of Jays is all about HRs.
Almost the entire history of Blue Jays playoff greatness — short as that story may be — is centred around gigantic home run moments.
Before there was Carter, there was the Roberto Alomar home run in Oakland off Dennis Eckersley in 1992, quite possibly the franchise-changing hit of all Toronto hits. Alomar provided legs to the Jays. Sprague hit the quiet pinch-hit homer that changed the World Series. Carter hit the shot for history. Three home runs changing Toronto baseball history forever.Thanks for signing up!The next issue of Your Midday Sun will soon be in your inbox.Why does this matter now as the Blue Jays are about to enter a three-game series with the Minnesota Twins? It matters because home runs are huge in the post-season.
And, of course, Carter is still dining out on his big hit. But for those who never experienced the Carter home run, either being too young or not born yet, their Carter moment was the Jose Bautista bat flip of 2015.The game, that day, that crowd, was unlike anything we’d seen before. The tension between the Blue Jays and the Texas Rangers was extreme. The Bautista bat flip homer was not a walk-off like the Carter home run and it didn’t win the Jays the World Series.
