1993 World Series Replay Game 4

Tommy Greene

1993 Toronto Blue Jays-3
1993 Philadelphia Phillies-8

Oct 20th, 1993-The largest crowd of the series came out for game 4 at Veteran’s Stadium where Toronto hoped to spike some offense as right fielder Joe Carter returned to the series from a game 1 injury. After a long rainy day in Philadelphia and slippery turf conditions, the dome dwelling Blue Jays could only manage 2 hits in the first 6 innings of the game while the Phillies piled up 8 runs in the first 3, knocked starting pitcher Todd Stottlemyre out after a single inning pitched, and took a commanding lead of the series. The Canadians managed 2 runs in the 7^th and another in the 8^th, but they could not stop a dominate Tommy Greene who pitched a concrete 8 innings giving up 2 earned runs with 9 strikeouts. A weak offense and a sputtering pitching staff has gotten the Toronto Blue Jays 1 loss away from the end of their season. Game 4 saw them put up 3 runs on 7 hits and wet conditions causing 4 costly errors. Philadelphia knocked in 8 runs on 13 hits and only succumbed to the conditions with 1 error.

Notes: Played at Soothing Meadows on 16 Oct 2018. In the original game 4, the Toronto Blue Jays won by the score of 15-14.

1955 New York Yankees-1

Oct 3rd, 1955-Heart means a lot and in baseball it means so much more. Down 3 games to 1 the Yankees never gave up. They never faltered. They never thought it was over. Ford may have been the reason behind the Yanks wins in game 1 and game 5, but he was nowhere to be found and instead Tommy Byrne showed up and delivered a shut-out in game 6 to keep the New York darlin’s alive. All that was needed was a 2 out double from Hank Bauer to bring the series to a 3-3 tie and a decisive 7^th game. His crucial 4^th inning RBI double was all the Yanks required to secure a victory in game 6 and send this World Series to a do or die 7^th game. Complete games by both pitchers produced a Yankees victory with 1 run on 8 hits and no errors. They defeated the Dodgers, who had 0 runs on 6 hits with no errors.
