Vancouver, B.C. - The Vancouver Giants, along with the Vancouver Canadians, are set to celebrate the Toronto Blue Jays' return to the Major League Baseball post-season with one of the greatest Blue Jays of all time -- Joe Carter! The 1993 World Series hero will be in attendance at the Giants' game on Sunday, October 25th when they host the Prince George Cougars at the Pacific Coliseum. Face-off is scheduled for 2:00pm, and fans in attendance at the game will have a chance to win a meet-and-greet with Joe Carter!

"With the Blue Jays back in the playoffs this week, we're incredibly excited to announce that Joe Carter will be at our game on October 25th," said Giants Vice President, Business Development Dale Saip. "We always enjoy partnering with our good friends at the Vancouver Canadians, and this will be a great event for all of our fans to enjoy.

Carter hit a walk-off, three-run home run in Game 6 of the 1993 World Series to lift the Blue Jays to their second championship in as many seasons. The Oklahoma City native played over 15 years in the big leagues with the Chicago Cubs, Cleveland Indians, San Diego Padres, Toronto Blue Jays, Baltimore Orioles and San Francisco Giants, notching 396 home runs and driving in 1,445 runs while maintaining a career .259 batting average.
