In your opinion, what do you think is the greatest moment in the last 50 years? Don't make a list...just narrow it down to one.
In my opinion, there is no moment that stands out more than the night that Carter hit the home run to bring Toronto it's second world series championship.
This really came to mind today when I decided to pop in my old videos from 1993 which had all the post game celebrations on yonge st with City TV's coverage...and it brought back all the memories of how I have never seen the citizens of Toronto in such an exubriant and prideful state like they were on that evening. The amount of people (over one million) at 12:00am on that October morning is something that I will probably never see again until another one of our big 3 teams wins a championship. To see shoulder-to-shoulder people jamming yonge..from the foot of yonge and lakeshore, to yonge and st clair is absolutely mind-blowing. And the amazing thing about it is that people were just so happy and cheerful to each other...strangers were hugging each other, singing with each other, high-fiving, dancing on top of streetcars(which for some reason was trying to cut through the masses on yonge & dundas), no fighting or violence...it was a state of absolute euphoria.
I was trying long and hard to find pictures of the celebrations on the internet, but they were non-existant. I wish I can scan in the footage from the videos that I have, but I do not have the equipment.
So that's my favorite moment....what is yours?
