As the Toronto Blue Jays chase their first World Series title in over three decades, memories of that unforgettable 1993 championship are flooding back for fans.

CityNews’ Rick Campanelli caught up with former Blue Jays outfielder Rob Butler, a hometown kid from Toronto’s east end who became part of Canadian baseball history when the Jays clinched back-to-back titles.
