Joe Carter made the final play in both of the Toronto Blue Jays' consecutive World Series wins, recording the final putout of the 1992 title win in Atlanta and, of course, hitting his unforgettable Series-ending home run off Philadelphia's Mitch Williams in 1993 at SkyDome. Carter is celebrated throughout this lot of 10 items, including a pair of signed 1992 and 1993 World Series frames, a Carter game-used bat, 1992 Blue Jays team-signed baseball and balls signed individually by Carter and HOFer Roberto Alomar. Please see our website description for more information about this magnificent Joe Carter Blue Jays lot. Carter has signed in bold blue marker on the bottom right of the white matte that surrounds three recessed photos of himself recording the 1992 World Series final putout at first base to clinch the Blue Jays’ first of back-to-back championships. Carter is pictured getting ready to catch pitcher Mike Timlin’s toss to deny Otis Nixon’s bunt attempt, followed by the Joe’s elation at recording the final out before a joyous leap that he would echo one year later in Toronto. The three photos are surrounded by an inner layer of white matte with elegant blue, light blue and red matte accents, all displayed along with the Blue Jays’ logo in a 19 1/2" x 30” black frame;
