For those that don’t remember it, the 1993 All-Star game was special for a number of reasons.
After having won the World Series in 1992, Cito Gaston was given the role as the manager of the American League All-Star team, which is an honour that goes to the skippers from the Fall Classic the year before. That was also the year that the Blue Jays had seven (!) players on the AL All-Star squad, including Roberto Alomar, Joe Carter, John Olerud, and more.
Since we don’t have much in the way of live baseball to watch right now, I’ve been enjoying looking back at some of the classic games in Blue Jays history, and also re-living some of the stories from that era.
