TORONTO - The Toronto Blue Jays will be channelling their past World Series triumphs when they host the first two games of this year's Fall Classic.

Former Toronto manager Cito Gaston will throw out the ceremonial first pitch before Game 1 against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday, while Blue Jays legend Joe Carter will handle the opening toss before Game 2 on Saturday.

Gaston managed the Blue Jays to World Series victories in 1992 and '93, with Carter playing a big role in the clinching moments of both championships.

Carter is best known for his walk-off three-run homer in Game 6 of the 1993 championship series with Philadelphia that gave Toronto its second straight title. He also recorded the final out in the bottom of the 11th inning of Game 6 of the 1992 series against Atlanta.
