4. Ed Sprague‘s Pinch Hit Homer in 1992

With one out in the top of the ninth inning, Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston decided to have Ed Sprague hit for setup man Duane Ward. With Derek Bell on first base, Sprague hit a long blast off Braves closer Jeff Reardon, as left fielder Deion Sanders watched it sail into the Atlanta night.

Sprague’s home run gave the Blue Jays a stunning 5-4 win in Game 2 of the 1992 World Series. It was only his second homer of the season, and the Blue Jays first pinch-hit home run of the year, but without it, the Jays might not have won the World Series.
