Flashback Friday: A Toronto Blue Jays Cameo in 'Big Daddy' | Blue Jay Hunter
"Most of you probably know of Jon Stewart's character Kevin Gerrity's moment of clarity at the end of the movie where he suddenly recalls his evening of sexual escapades that led to conceiving a child: "6 years ago ... Joe Carter. Toronto and the Phillies, you know ... World Series! Mitch Williams ... we flew up for the night! There was a girl. I'm an idiot. I was so hammered - chicken wings and Molson 3.0. You know Canadian beer's like moonshine.""
"This is a screencap of the scene where Julian wets the bed, and don't ask me how or why, but somehow I noticed there was some Blue Jays paraphernalia on the wall in the room. There's this identical picture of Joe Carter from the 1993 World Series, and a classic foam Blue Jays head. But then after brightening up the photo, I noticed the fabled foam letter "J" on the wall to the left."
Jon Stewart's character Kevin Gerrity is linked to the Toronto Blue Jays through dialogue and visible memorabilia in the 1999 film Big Daddy. The film includes a spoken reference to Joe Carter and the 1993 World Series, with a character recalling traveling for the game and drinking Molson. A screencap reveals Blue Jays paraphernalia in a bedroom, including a Joe Carter photograph, a foam Blue Jays head, and a foam letter "J" on the wall. The memorabilia ties the character to attendance at the 1993 World Series and suggests an intentional continuity portraying Gerrity as a Blue Jays fan.
