On Monday, it was made official that Carter will have a statue in his honor. In a video message, Carter marked the occasion.
"As we celebrate our 50th season, they are unveiling a statue of myself," Carter said. "Symbolic of the 1993 Toronto Blue Jays , World Series champions, and not just me, but the whole team and the whole city. Because you know what? We could not have done it without you guys. So I cannot think of a better way to celebrate that than to have everybody around, teammates, fans, everybody celebrating. Because it's not about one person, it's about a whole country."
In 1993, the Blue Jays were the defending World Series champions. They faced off against the Philadelphia Phillies , which included John Kruck, Curt Schilling, Lenny Dykstra, and Mitch "Wild Thing" Williams.

In Game 6, Carter hit a historic walk-off home run over Williams in the bottom of the 9th. The moment still lives on in baseball lore. It was only the second time that a World Series ended on a walk-off home run.
The last time was in Game 7 of the 1960 World Series by Bill Mazeroski to lead the Pittsburgh Pirates to the title over the New York Yankees .
Meanwhile, the Blue Jays are coming off playing in an epic seven game series with the Los Angeles Dodgers . Though they lost, it put Toronto back on the baseball map.
Carter's home run, plus Toronto's back-to-back titles, solidified baseball's place north of the border.
