It's a moment Londoner John P. Allen will never forget—a flashback to 1992, when Toronto Blue Jays fever was also sweeping across the nation.

The stakes were high. The Jays faced the Atlanta Braves on October 22, 1992, in Game 5 of the World Series.

That's when Allen stepped up to the microphone in the SkyDome and sang the national anthem with his bandmates in the popular country act, Prairie Oyster.

While the Blue Jays would lose that game, they'd go on to take the World Series in Game 6.

Now, as the Toronto Blue Jays head back to the World Series for the first time since 1993, Allen is remembering performing on the big day.

He spoke with CBC host Matt Allen to talk about the experience. LISTEN | Hear Prairie Oyster singing the national anthem: Afternoon Drive 8:06 London
