31 Years Ago Today I remember the moment. I remember thinking, win or lose, we would be ok. The Blue Jays had Pat Hentgen ready to be our starter in game 7, and he had a great start in game 3. But I’m happy with the way it ended. No matter how many times I’ve watched this, I’m still amazed that Joe Carter could keep that ball fair. A few years ago, I interviewed Hentgen, and I was able to ask him something I had always wondered about: Fortunately, we didn’t need the game.
Our 9th couldn’t have set up better. The top of the order was up. Rickey Henderson led off with a walk. White hit a deep fly out. Monitor singled, and we had the tying run on second. And then, well...you know. Mitch Williams remains my favourite reliever of all time. Henderson has said he feels he helped out Carter by getting Williams’ attention at second base. Williams pitched out of the stretch and lost a little off his fastball.
