The 1993 World Series: Toronto Blue Jays vs Philadelphia Phillies
The Toronto Blue Jays โ the defending champions โ sleek, corporate, efficient โ featuring an offensive arsenal that hit a collective 0.311 in the six-game series. The Philadelphia Phillies โ a last-to-first success story โ with their long hair, beards, and blue-collar work ethic โ a softball team in pinstripes. This was a World Series that won't soon be forgotten. A six-game slugfest that sent pitchers scurrying to the showers. The heroes were named Dykstra, Molitor, Schilling and Alomar. The games were unforgettable. The sheer drama of Game Four โ with its runs, hits, and duration โ all records. The surgical precision of Curt Schilling's shutout in Game Five. And Joe Carter's incredible three-run blast to win Game Six โ just the second time in history a home run has ended a World Series.
