## Resource

Duane Ward, the legendary Blue Jays reliever who helped lead the team to two World Series titles, has died at 62—just days after returning to Toronto to celebrate the 1992 and 1993 championship squads. Known for his fiery bullpen dominance and unshakable team spirit, Ward formed a historic duo with Tom Henke and later became the franchise’s all-time saves leader with 45 in 1993. His legacy as a cornerstone of Blue Jays’ greatness and a brotherhood builder lives on in the hearts of fans and teammates alike.
