I think he’s on the ring of honour. Only Alomar and halladay have their numbers retired.Joe Carter is very much overrated and analytics have really brought his outlook down over the years, but, for what he means to the city of Toronto and the Blue Jays, his number should be retired with Steib, Halladay, Tony, Delgado, Bautista etc
Well Stieb should be ahead of him then, but its always been weird seeing other jays wear 29I think he’s on the ring of honour. Only Alomar and halladay have their numbers retired.
But, yeah, the guy was here for 7 years, the most loved guy on the team and was in on WS ending plays in back to back years, including a walk off come from behind HR.
It’s simply a case of his importance to the franchise greatly outweighs how good he actually wasMeh. Pretty sure Jesse Barfield has multiple times WAR as #29 for the Jays than Joe Carter.
Agreed about Stieb though, he still has an argument for GJOAT.
