Joe Carter's complaining his HR to win the WS ain't getting enough respect

Well, other than the whole open heart surgery thing.

 

whofuckingcares?

 

Thomson's? Pshaw. It didn't even win the Series. It only won the pennant. It only won the pennant. It only won the pennant.

 

Hey, Joe's shoulder surgery in 1998 is just as important. You just don't appreciate it because he didn't play for the Yankees.

 

that. was. solid.

 

Damn. that was good. Totally missed it.

 

it's my goal in life to make sure pallister receives his due props.

 

Toronto should erect a statue. It's a great idea, actually.

I'm of the mind that, fuck the rest of the world when it comes to our baseball history. Feats accomplished by the Blue Jays will rarely if ever get the respect accorded the feats of the Yankees/Dodgers/Red Sox, but who really gives a shit whether we do or not? When we start looking for validation, especially from sources that are not likely to ever give it to us in a non-patronizing way, it just lessens what we have to be proud of in the first place.

Bottom line - as a Blue Jays fan throughout the '80s and mid '90s, I don't need a subjective "greatest of all-time" list to tell me what that home run meant and still means. I know what it meant and means to me. That's all I care about.

 

You typed "erect." ;D

 

You got your work cut out for you. But at least I'm not Canadian.

 

Your loss.

 

It works the other way around, so that's only fair.
