Blue Jays hero Joe Carter says “current team wouldn’t beat us”

The former slugger unequivocally believes the 1992/93 teams would beat the current cast of Jays players. Carter went one step further to explain how the World Series teams would do whatever it takes to win rather than relying on the three-run homer that the currently contingent routinely does to secure victories.

They wouldn’t beat us — that’s for sure. I mean, come on, we were World Series champs those two years. I think the biggest difference in the two teams are we were very good at playing small ball. We were able to do whatever it takes, meaning advancing the runners, bunting the guys over, stealing bases, playing good defence, fundamentally doing the right things and not just living off the three-run home run.
