Strap in for Joe Carter's home run to play on an infinite loop

Here we see a man who has lost control of his faculties, puppeteered by a level of ecstasy none of us will ever know. Somewhere further south of him, a city of Phillies fans were raiding their poor vocabularies to scratch out death threats to Mitch Williams while others merely whistled with each spurt of the gas canister before reaching into their pocket for the matches.

It's been 22 years since "Joe Carter," a moment probably replayed and relived more often by self-pitying Philadelphians than actual Blue Jay fans. Since then, the act of villainy against the drinking, farting, possibly-juicing '93 Phillies has been watered down by the Phillies becoming good and finally winning their World Series and the fact that Williams turned out to not be the most likable guy anyway (unlike Joe Carter).
