Biography

Joe Carter is the man responsible for what The Sporting News called one of Baseball’s 25 Greatest Moments. On October 23, 1993, in Game 6 of the World Series between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Philadelphia Phillies, Carter hit a ninth inning home run that won the Jays their second consecutive world title. That hit immortalized Joe Carter in Canadian sports history; co-incidentally, Carter was also the last person to touch the ball in the previous World Series when the Jays defeated the Atlanta Braves. Driving in at least 100 RBIs 10 times in 12 seasons, Carter played for Toronto, the Chicago Cubs, Cleveland Indians, San Diego Padres, Baltimore Orioles and San Francisco Giants. Carter is a gracious guest at any event.
