Editing Dave Winfield (section)

===Toronto Blue Jays (1992)===
Winfield was still a productive hitter after his 40th birthday. On December 19, {{baseball year|1991}}, he signed with the [[Toronto Blue Jays]] as their designated hitter, and also made "Winfieldian" plays when he periodically took his familiar position in right field. He batted .290 with 26 home runs and 108 RBI during the {{baseball year|1992}} season.

Winfield proved to be a lightning rod for the Blue Jays, providing leadership and experience as well as his potent bat. Winfield was a fan favorite and also demanded fan participation. In August 1992, he made an impassioned plea to the reserved fans during an interview for more crowd noise. The phrase "Winfield Wants Noise" became a popular slogan for the rest of the season, appearing on T-shirts, dolls, buttons, and signs.

The Blue Jays won the pennant, giving Winfield a chance at redemption for his previous post-season futility. In Game 6 of the [[1992 World Series|World Series]], he became "Mr. Jay"<ref name="sabr.org"/> as he delivered the game-winning two-run double in the 11th inning off [[Atlanta Braves|Atlanta]]'s [[Charlie Leibrandt]] to win the [[World Series Trophy|World Series Championship]] for Toronto. At 41 years of age, Winfield became the third-oldest player to hit an extra base hit in the World Series, trailing only [[Pete Rose]] and [[Enos Slaughter]].<ref>{{cite book|title=Great Baseball Feats, Facts and Figures|year=2008|page=[https://archive.org/details/greatbaseballfea00davi/page/367 367]|first1=David|last1=Nemec|first2=Scott|last2=Flatow|publisher=Penguin Group|location=New York|isbn=978-0-451-22363-0|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/greatbaseballfea00davi/page/367}}</ref>
