In 1988, Carter was inducted into the Wichita State University Pizza Hut Shocker Hall of Fame. In 1999, Carter was inducted into the Missouri Valley Hall of Fame. In 2003, Carter was inducted into the Canadian baseball Hall Of Fame In 2008, Carter was inducted into the Kansas Baseball Hall of Fame.
Carter's overall game improved dramatically in , as he helped the Toronto Blue Jays win the division title and hit the game-winning single that clinched the AL East Championship; he also emerged for the first time as a team leader. In , he helped the Jays win their first World Series championship, the first ever won by a Canadian-based team. Carter hit two home runs and recorded the final out of the Series, taking a throw to first base from reliever Mike Timlin to nab Otis Nixon of the Atlanta Braves.
Carter has the unique honor of being the first person to score a run in a World Series outside of the United States (Game 3, 1992 World Series) and the last person to do so (Game 6, 1993 World Series), a distinction that will remain in place until Toronto wins the American League pennant again (in 1993 there were two Canadian teams, but the Montreal Expos never reached a World Series and exist today as the Washington Nationals). He is also the only player ever to both record the final out in one World Series, and get a series-clinching walk-off hit in another.
When he represented the Blue Jays at the 1996 All-Star Game, he received boos for his home run that won the Blue Jays the 1993 World Series, as the game took place at Veterans Stadium, then the home of the Philadelphia Phillies.
Carter was also involved in the final plays of four games in which the Blue Jays clinched a championship: 1) The game-winning single to clinch the 1991 American League East Division championship, 2) catching the final out at first base in the 1992 World Series, 3) catching the final out on a fly ball to right field in the 1993 American League Championship Series, and 4) the walk-off home run in Game 6 of the 1993 World Series.
Carter was inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame.
In September 2006, Carter was awarded the Major League Baseball Hometown Heroes Award as the former or current player who best represents the legacy of his franchise's history, as voted by fans.
In 2008, Carter appeared on an episode of Pros vs. Joes.
On August 7, 2009, Carter - along with many of his 1992 & 1993 Toronto Blue Jay World Series alumni teammates, attended a reunion/pre-game ceremony at the Rogers Centre (formerly known as Skydome). The event was organized by Carter himself and included three dozen players, coaches and athletic trainers from the 1992 and 1993 World Series Champion Toronto Blue Jay roster.

In the article, Priestley said, "I'm excited to be able to spend the month of May in Indy with my good friends and be a part of the greatest open wheel race," "It's been more than five years since my accident, and it's going to be so good to get to see everyone." Despite the team's enthusiasm, it suffered a crash during the second weekend of qualifying then had subsequent gearbox problems and failed to qualify for the race.
Priestley is an owner of the new FAZZT Race Team, which is competing full time in the IndyCar Series in 2010 with Canadian racer Alex Tagliani.

name | Tom Cheek |
---|---|
birth date | June 13, 1939 |
birth place | Pensacola, Florida |
death date | October 09, 2005 |
death place | Oldsmar, Florida |
alma mater | Cambridge School of Broadcasting |
occupation | Toronto Blue Jays radio sportscaster |
spouse | Shirley Cheek |
nationality | }} |
Thomas F. Cheek (June 13, 1939 - October 9, 2005) was an American sportscaster.
Best known as the "Voice of the Blue Jays", Tom announced Major League Baseball games for the Toronto Blue Jays on radio from the team's establishment in 1977 until his retirement in 2004, in which he had a 27-year consecutive game streak of 4,306 consecutive games plus 41 post-season games called, which lasted from the first ever Blue Jays game in 1977 to June 3, 2004. Cheek was inducted to the Blue Jays Level of Excellence in 2005 and has since then been nominated numerous times for the Ford C. Frick Award.
Cheek's best-known call was perhaps his description of Joe Carter's dramatic title-clinching home run in Game 6 of the 1993 World Series, when he said, "Touch 'em all, Joe! You'll never hit a bigger home run in your life!" He is also author of the book Road to Glory, which chronicled the first 16 years of Blue Jays baseball.
At the same time, the newly formed Montreal Expos were looking for a second announcer to compliment their primary play-by-play man, Dave Van Horne. Burlington, being only 99 miles from Montreal, although traditionally a Boston Red Sox town, were warming up to the new expansion team. It was later decided that the Expos would go with a guest announcer format, and this is where Cheek would get his first broadcast experience of Major League Baseball, where he filled in occasionally until 1976.
Cheek, along with Howarth, were perhaps the most respected Toronto sports broadcaster of the era. Cheek's Blue Jays broadcasts originated from Toronto's CKFH "The Fan" 1430, a station that was founded by another legendary Toronto sports broadcaster, Foster Hewitt. For a brief period, his broadcast was heard on 1050 CHUM, but following the purchase of the Blue Jays by Rogers Communications, reverted back to "The Fan", which had changed its callsign and frequency to CJCL 590 AM, also known as the FAN 590.
Cheek called many memorable moments in Blue Jays history, including many firsts; the Blue Jays ALCS-clinching game in 1985 and both the final outs of the 1992 and 1993 World Series, the latter which spawned his famous "Touch 'em all, Joe" quote, when Joe Carter clinched the World Series on a walk-off home run, only the second to happen in World Series history.
Cheek announced every single Blue Jays game from the first game on April 7, 1977 until June 3, 2004, when he took two games off following the death of his father - a streak of 4,306 consecutive regular season games and 41 postseason games. During the 2004 season, the Jays raised a banner to SkyDome's (now the Rogers Centre) "Level of Excellence" bearing his name and, in place of a jersey number, 4,306 - his streak of straight regular-season broadcasts.
It seemed Cheek had recovered and would call the Jays games in 2005. But the cancer returned and he had treatment at Toronto's Mount Sinai Hospital and at the Toronto Western Hospital. Cheek did sit in with new commentator Warren Sawkiw and Howarth to call an inning of the Blue Jays' 2005 opening game, played in Tampa Bay.
Cheek died at age 66 in Oldsmar, Florida, and was buried in Clearwater, Florida on October 14, 2005 with his wife Shirley, three children and seven grandchildren present.
For seven straight years (2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 , and 2011), Cheek was named among the ten finalists for the Ford C. Frick Award by the Baseball Hall of Fame. The award is presented each year, during the Hall of Fame's induction ceremonies, to a broadcaster for "major contributions to baseball."
