For many, the playoff-bound Toronto Blue Jays are an entirely new experience. But for countless others, it is a moment they have sought to see again — for 22 years.
We asked you how you took in the Jays 1993 World Series and you spoke vividly of the day. You pulled out your ticket stubs, you remembered the crack of Joe Carter's bat and a jubilant Yonge Street.
Many of you were in the Dome, with the ticket stubs to prove it
I totally was, 6 years old, still have my ticket stub! <a href="https://t.co/5dfDDLtwEz">https://t.co/5dfDDLtwEz</a>

<a href="https://twitter.com/CBCToronto">@CBCToronto</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/BlueJays">@BlueJays</a> I was at the SkyDome for Game 6...after Joe hit it out, I was so ecstatic that I was literally jumping up and down.

Some of you were with the scores of fans on Yonge Street
<a href="https://twitter.com/CBCToronto">@CBCToronto</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/BlueJays">@BlueJays</a> watched the game with a friend in front of HMV on Yonge Street. Yonge Street went crazy, then we met the dome crowd!
