Thanks for bringing back so many special memories. The Alomar home run often gets overlooked, but it definitely turned that series definitively in Toronto's favour. My only small quibble is that I would probably put Springer's dinger ahead of the Joey Bats Flip (pun intended). No question, the dramatic buildup to Bautista's home run was considerably greater. Springer's sort of crept up on us quietly and the stadium was quiet with anxiety (in contrast to the 2015 7th innning where the fans were already going crazy before the famous bat flip by Jose). HOWEVER, Springer's is the more important as it got the Jays into the World Series, something none of those great players on the 2015 team were able to achieve. On that basis, I put the Springer home run 2nd to Carter.
