Blue Jays: Looking back at the “start” of Ed Sprague’s career

When the Blue Jays entered the World Series against the Atlanta Braves in 1992, it was the first time any team outside of the United States had played in the Fall Classic. It was special for a wide variety of reasons, for the country, the Blue Jays, and for many of the individuals throughout the organization.

Looking back on the series, things definitely could have gone another way if not for some late-inning heroics from an unlikely source. With the Blue Jays down 1-0 in the series and trailing 4-3 going into the top of the ninth in Game Two, they turned to their bench in hopes of avoiding a two games to none deficit, and thankfully the rest is history.
