For the Game 5 of the 1991 ALCS between the Minnesota Twins and Toronto Blue Jays, Stockton called the final out by saying "And the Minnesota Twins have gone from the cellar to the penthouse in the American League." The following year in Game 4 of the ALCS between Toronto and the Oakland Athletics, Stockton described Roberto Alomar's game-tying home run off of Oakland closer Dennis Eckersley by saying “A drive to right field, Sierra going back, looking up and this game is tied! Roberto Alomar!”
