Joe Carter is a retired five-time MLB All-Star and two-time World Series champ who hit a walk-off home run to win it all for the Toronto Blue Jays back in 1993.
In short, the man has accomplished a lot. But even he admits you haven't "made it" until you show up on a Drake track.

Just catching up? Drake and fellow rapper Meek Mill are currently involved in what those in the industry call a "beef," ever since Meek accused Drake of using a ghostwriter for his lyrics. Drake has since dropped not one but two diss tracks on Meek's head. The second of those hit Wednesday morning and is called "Back to Back;" Meek gets utterly destroyed on it.
Anyhow: back to the matter at hand. Drake used a shot of Joe Carter for his "Back to Back" art. But not just any shot. It's Carter moments after hitting that '93 World Series walk-off homer for Drake's hometown Toronto Blue Jays -- against Meek's hometown Philadelphia Phillies, no less.
There's levels to this, as Meek himself might say.
When Carter got wind of his inclusion, he tweeted his gratitude and joy for the incredible blessing bestowed upon him.
I have officially made it now!!! Thanks to my man @drake. I'm honored bro. #BackToBack. pic.twitter.com/TH8VLuPAMQ— Joe Carter (@JoeCarter_29) July 29, 2015
Toronto sticks together, you see. And Carter isn't the only local to have Drake's back in the Great Meek Mill Beef of 2015.
After Meek first accused Drake of using a ghostwriter, Toronto city councilor Norm Kelly tweeted that Meek is no longer welcome in the 6, as the cool kids call Toronto.
Then, after Drake dropped "Back to Back" early Wednesday, Kelly posted this image -- no caption needed.

In conclusion, please keep Meek Mill in your prayers during this difficult time. Here's "Back to Back" if you want to hear what all the fuss is about.
