## Resource

A Blue Jays legend has passed away — Duane Ward, the fiery closer who anchored two World Series championship teams, died at 62 from natural causes. Known for his devastating fastball and clutch performances, Ward saved 121 games over 12 seasons, including the pivotal Game 6 of the 1993 World Series — the very game Joe Carter hit his iconic walk-off homer. An All-Star in ’93, Ward’s durability and dominance made him a fan favorite and an irreplaceable piece of Toronto baseball history. His legacy lives on in the hearts of the Jays, his teammates, and every fan who remembers the roar of the Rogers Centre when he took the mound.
