The 1993 World Series was the second Series in a row played outside the United States of America. (See 1992 World Series.) It pitted the defending champion Toronto Blue Jays of the American League against the National League champion Philadelphia Phillies. With Toronto ahead 3 games to 2 in the series, Joe Carter hit a three-run game-winning home run in the bottom of the 9th inning of Game 6 to win the series for Toronto, giving them their second consecutive championship (the first repeaters since the 1977-78 Yankees). This was only the second Series concluded by such a home run (the first was in the 1960 World Series on a Bill Mazeroski home run for the Pittsburgh Pirates), and the first such occasion where a come-from-behind walk-off home run won a World Series. // This year in baseball Events January - Reggie Jackson is elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame by the Baseball Writers Association of America, receiving 94% of the vote. ...

The series' first game sent two staff aces -- Curt Schilling for Philadelphia and Juan Guzman for Toronto -- against one another.

Juan Andres Guzmán Correa (born October 28, 1966 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic) is a former pitcher in Major League Baseball. ...

The deciding plays came in the middle innings. With Toronto behind 4-3 in the 5th inning, Devon White hit a solo home run to tie the game. The next inning, John Olerud hit a solo home run of his own to put Toronto on top. Toronto added three insurance runs in the bottom of the 7th and held on to win 8-5. Al Leiter pitched 2 2/3 innings -- in relief of a sporadic Juan Guzman, who walked four in just five innings -- for his first World Series win. John Kruk had three hits for Philadelphia.

In the second game of the series, Dave Stewart was on the mound for Toronto and Terry Mulholland started for Philadelphia. Philadelphia jumped out to an early lead: in the third inning, Jim Eisenreich followed John Kruk and Dave Hollins RBI singles with a three-run home run to deep right-center. Toronto got on the scoreboard in the fourth inning courtesy of a Joe Carter two-run home run to left (his second most important home run of the series by a wide margin), but the Jays were unable to mount a significant offensive push later in the game. Philadelphia held on to win 6-4. Terry Mulholland pitched 5⅔ innings, allowing 3 earned runs, for the win.

Danny Lynn Jackson (born January 5, 1962 San Antonio, Texas - ) was a pitcher with a 15 year career from 1983 to 1997. ...

Toronto manager Cito Gaston was faced with an unusual and difficult decision prior to game time. As the series switched the National League ballpark, Gaston was forced to sit one player from his regular line-up as the designated hitter (DH) would not be allowed to play. As regular DH Paul Molitor had been a hot hand in the line-up, Gaston elected to sit first baseman John Olerud and position Molitor at first base. The decision was potentially controversial as Olerud had led the American League in batting over the season with a .363 average; moreover, Molitor was the less sure-handed fielder. Molitor, however, put these concerns to rest, going 3 for 4, hitting a home run in the 3rd inning, and driving in 3 runs.

In the fourth game of the series, Toronto sent Todd Stottlemyre to the mound while Philadelphia countered with Tommy Greene.

In one of the more unusual plays in World Series history, Stottlemyre, trying to go first to third on a Roberto Alomar single in the second inning, did a bellyflop diving into third base, where he was called out. Todd's awkward dive resulted in an abrasion on his chin and appeared to shake him up in the next inning, during which he surrendered a two-run home run to Lenny Dykstra. Stottlemyre was pulled after the second inning, having already given up six runs. Tommy Greene fared little better for the Phillies, being pulled after giving up seven runs in 2⅓ innings.

Philadelphia took a commanding 12-7 lead in the fifth inning, courtesy of two-run home runs from Dykstra and Darren Daulton, and a run-scoring double from Milt Thompson.

Two death threats directed towards Mitch Williams were phoned into Veterans Stadium as soon as it became evident that Williams was going to be the losing pitcher of Game 4 (the 15-14 game). Williams wasn't aware of the death threats until after Game 5.

The offenses were due for an off-day, and it came in Game 5 courtesy of a Curt Schilling (Philadelphia) and Juan Guzman (Toronto) pitching duel. Schilling shut down the previously unstoppable Toronto offense, limiting the team to just five hits and no runs. Guzman pitched well in a losing effort, allowing only two runs and five hits in seven innings of work.

Philadelphia closer Mitch Williams came on to the pitch the bottom of the ninth with his team clinging to a 6-5 lead. After beginning the inning by walking Rickey Henderson, Williams tried to counter Henderson's speed by using a slide-step style of pitching delivery. Prior to Game 6 of the 1993 World Series, Williams never used the slide-step delivery in his career, and this may have cut back on his velocity. The walk to Henderson was followed by a Devon White fly out and a single by Paul Molitor that moved Henderson to second. Joe Carter came up next and, with the count 2-2, he hit a three-run game-winning home run and the World Series crown.

Trivia

• Phillies manager Jim Fregosi would go on to manage the Toronto Blue Jays from 1999-2000.
• World Series MVP Paul Molitor became the first man in World Series history to have at least two home runs, two doubles, and two triples.
• This was the fourth World Series to be played entirely on artificial turf, following those in 1980, 1985, and 1987, and the last to be played on turf at all. As of 2007, only three teams still play on turf, and all are in the American League: the Blue Jays, the Minnesota Twins, and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
• Joe Carter was actively involved in the final play of the World Series for the second year in a row. In the previous year, Carter caught the final out as first baseman after relief pitcher Mike Timlin fielded Otis Nixon's bunt.
• Whenever Mitch Williams was on the mound, his nervous teammate Curt Schilling was caught by CBS television cameras burying his face in a towel. Schilling's behavior not only irked Mitch Williams (who to this day, harbors bitter feelings towards Schilling), but also fellow Phillies teammates like Larry Andersen and Danny Jackson, who (on ESPN Classic's Top 5 Reasons You Can't Blame... episode about Mitch Williams) accused Schilling of purposely trying to get more camera time.
• Phillies relief pitcher David West allowed hits to the first four Blue Jays he faced (in Games 1 and 4). In the 1991 World Series as a member of the Minnesota Twins, West had allowed all six runners that faced him in Games 3 and 5 to reach base (a single, a home run and four walks). He thereby set, and still holds a World Series record for allowing the most consecutive batters to reach base (10).
• Just like in 1992, American League president Dr. Bobby Brown presented the World Series Trophy instead of the Commissioner of Baseball.
• Soon after the end of the 2005 season, the Philadelphia Phillies hired Pat Gillick to be their general manager. Pat Gillick was also the general manager for the Toronto Blue Jays for their 1992-1993 championship teams.
• Larry Andersen was the only member of the 1993 Phillies to also play for them in 1983 (the previous time they went to the World Series).
• In a home run contest the following year that took place in Pittsburgh, Joe Carter hit a shot that went about three feet foul to left field. After the hit, he jokingly referred to the 1993 World Series-winning home run, and how Philadelphia would have preferred that his foul shot be the hit he made in the World Series.
• Numerous participants in the 1993 World Series would go on to play in the 1997 World Series: Darren Daulton, Jim Eisenreich, Al Leiter, Devon White, Tony Fernández, and Pat Borders.
• The Phillies' theme song and slogan during the postseason was Tag Team's Whoomp! There It Is!. For one of the games, the group wrote and performed special lyrics devoted to the Phillies. Television commentators mistakenly referred to the group as 95 South, whose song Whoot! There It Is! (misidentified as the Phils' theme by New Yorker reviewer Roger Angell) came out at about the same time.
• Canadian born rapper, Choclair refers to Joe Carter's walk-off home run in his 1999 song Let's Ride.

• 5. Bud Selig. The Commissioner of Baseball, then also the owner of the Milwaukee Brewers, let future Hall-of-Famer (and 1993 World Series Most Valuable Player) Paul Molitor get away to the Blue Jays. Had this not happened, the Jays might not have even defeated the New York Yankees to win the American League East, much less the Chicago White Sox in the League Championship Series or the Phillies in the World Series.
• 4. Williams was rattled by death threats over his previous late-game losses that season, including the fourth game of the 1993 World Series.
• 3. Joe Carter. Unlike such unlikely postseason home-run heroes as Bill Mazeroski, Bernie Carbo, Bucky Dent, Jim Leyritz, Scott Spiezio, Scott Podsednik, Aaron Boone and Geoff Blum, Carter was a bonafide home run hitter, ending his career with 396 home runs, including 33 in the 1993 regular season.
• 2. The other pitchers in the Phillie bullpen (i.e. Larry Andersen, Roger Mason, Ben Rivera, Bobby Thigpen, and David West) weren't very effective, either.
• 1. The Blue Jays were better. Not only were the Jays the defending World Champions, with seven members of the American League All-Star Team on their roster (including Molitor, Carter, Roberto Alomar, John Olerud and Devon White), but the Phillies pulled a major upset over the Atlanta Braves just to get to the World Series. In the 1993 National League Championship Series, Mitch Williams was the winning pitcher in Game 1.
