Joe Carter doesn't think about baseball much these days.

Best remembered for the home run that won a World Series for the Toronto Blue Jays in 1993, Carter now prefers to spend his time on the golf course.

But when the 52-year-old takes the Eagles Nest Golf Course in Maple, Ont., for the Joe Carter Classic in August, he'll be joined by the pitcher who made him famous.

Mitch Williams, the Philadelphia Phillies reliever who gave up Carter's championship-clinching homer, will be among those taking part in the charity tournament for the Children's Aid Foundation.

Carter, speaking from his home in Leawood, KS, said he hasn't had much contact with Williams in the years since Game 6. The golf tournament will be the pair's first appearance together in Canada since the '93 World Series.

"It's something where two guys gave it their best, one guy had to come out on top. It just happened to be me. But it wasn't for a lack of effort from Mitch," said Carter.

Carter's tournament, now in its third year, has raised more than $250,000 to help disadvantaged children and youth.

Among those joining Carter for the Aug. 14-15 event are Hockey Hall of Famers Ray Bourque and Doug Gilmour, basketball Hall of Famer Charles Barkley and former world heavyweight boxing champion Lennox Lewis.

Cito Gaston, who managed Carter with the Jays, and Carter's former teammate Kelly Gruber will also be at the event.

"You involve a person like me who likes to have fun, who likes to talk it up and interact with the people, and I'm able to bring celebrities who love to interact with people ... people want to be a part of it," said Carter.

Carter, who now runs a home development company, said he still returns to Toronto often throughout the year. His interest in baseball has faded, but he still keeps an eye out to see how the Blue Jays are doing.

"I like the team, I like what they've done. They've got a pretty good young pitching staff ... Bautista has done exceptionally well. The nucleus is there ...," he said.

"When you get young guys in with confidence, they feel they can go out there and they can save the world. And that's exactly what they're doing. So they're in this race, and I think they've got a great chance to get in the playoffs this year."
