• 1993 Philadelphia Phillies-8
• 1993 Toronto Blue Jays-3

Oct 24th, 1993-Both teams changed up their rotation for the final game of the season. Philly decided to pitch Tommy Greene who rocked out 8 innings for a win in game 4 instead of scheduled starter Danny Jackson, and after a solid effort in relief earlier in the series, Toronto chose Al Leiter.  Again, Blue Jay starting pitching let them down as Leiter could not continue his great performance from game 4 and within 2 innings Todd Stotlemyre came into the game to stop the damage already inflicted after 2 home runs and 3 total runs in the first 2 innings by the Phillies.  Philly did not let Stottlemyre off of the hook either as he thew for 4 innings and gave up 3 runs himself.  Philadelphia never relented and piled on 2 more against Eichhorn for an 8 run day.  Tommy Greene had another great start and held Toronto to 3 total runs in 7 innings pitched with 13 strikeouts before Larry Anderson closed out the game.  With the bats, Darren Daulton is named player of the game going 2 for 4 with 2 homers 4 RBI’s and scoring 3 himself.  Philadelphia wins the series with 8 runs on 7 hits and 1 error while Toronto scored 3 runs on 5 hits with a single error.

Notes: Played at Soothing Meadows on 28 Oct 2018. There was no original game 7 as the Toronto Blue Jays closed out the series the previous day 4 games to 2.

• 1993 Toronto Blue Jays-5
• 1993 Philadelphia Phillies-2

Oct 21st, 1993-Game 5 saw a revisit to the game 1 starters who never got the chance to strut their stuff as both teams combined for a World Series record of 29 runs. All the difference a few days makes as Juan Guzman pitched a solid 7 innings, surrendering only 2 runs on 5 hits before handing the ball to Ward who finished out the day with 2 innings of no hit ball.  His opposition, Curt Schilling, did not fare as well with all 5 of the Blue Jays runs being credited to him and surrendering 12 hits.  Toronto got their spark in the early rounds with 2 runs in each of the 3^rd and 4^th innings and a little insurance off of a Fernandez RBI double in the 6^th that drove Schilling into the dugout and gave the Phillies their 2^nd loss of the series.  Toronto claws their way back into the series with their best pitching performance of the championship coming at the time they needed it the most, but it is first baseman John Olerud who went 4 for 5 with 2 doubles, 2 runs, and an RBI who gets the game ball.  Blue Jays get 5 runs on 13 hits with 1 error.  Philadelphia managed only 2 off of 5 hits and 1 error.

Notes: Played at Soothing Meadows on 21 Oct 2018. In the original game 5, the Toronto Blue Jays won by the score of 2-0.

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.

Oct 19th, 1993-Game 3 saw the series move back to the states and Veteran’s Stadium in Philadelphia. Toronto took a 2 run lead into the bottom of the 5^th inning after a 3 run 3^rd and 1 run in the top half of the frame against Philadelphia’s single runs in the 3^rd and 4^th.  The Blue Jays pitching let them down again with starter Dave Stewart allowing 4 of the 5 runs in the bottom of the 5^th, giving a lead to Philly they never relinquished.  A 3 run homer by Milt Thompson in the 6^th added a bit of insurance to an already insurmountable lead giving Phillies pitcher Danny Jackson his first win of the series and relievers DeLeon and Anderson pitched strong performances without a single Blue Jays hit in the final 4 innings.  Toronto loses game 3 with only 4 runs on 8 hits and 1 error while Philadelphia drove in 10 on 14 hits with no errors and lead the series 2 games to 1.  Going 2 for 5 with 4 RBI’s and a home run, Milt Thompson is the game’s best player.

Oct 17th, 1993-The second game of the series saw Philadelphia picking up right where they left off in game one scoring 3 runs in the first, adding two more in the third, and another in the fourth off of a Lenny Dykstra home run. Leading the game 6-1 in the fifth, Philadelphia hoped their bullpen could keep the Blue Jays in line, but after scoring one in the third inning, Toronto battled back with single runs in the sixth and seventh to bring the game closer at 6-3.  An error on Jim Eisenreich for the Phillies in the bottom of the 9^th allowed a run to score and a base hit by Devon White brought the Blue Jays back within a single run of tying the game.  Philadelphia closer Mitch Williams sealed the deal with two flyouts to end the game and stop Toronto’s comeback.  Although there was not a far and away star, Phillies pitcher Terry Mulholland earns the game ball with 6 innings pitched, 8 hits, 1 earned run, 6 strikeouts and the win.  The Phillies tied the series at 1 game a piece by a score of 6-5 with 10 hits and 1 costly error.  The Blue Jays mounted 5 runs, 12 hits, and no errors, but still could not come up with the victory.

Oct 16th, 1993-With 52,011 in attendance, the fans at SkyDome witnessed a crazy game one with both teams filling up the scoreboard with runs despite both teams’ ace pitchers Schilling and Guzman on the mound.  Philly and Toronto piled up runs and used pitchers up with a fury as Philadelphia scored multiple runs in the 3^rd, 4^th,5^th, and 7th innings and Toronto scoring multiple runs in the 1^st, 4^th, 6^th and 7^th.  The Phillies led the game 14-8 in the bottom of the 7^th inning when the Blue Jays batted around and scored 7 runs behind numerous walks, 2 hits, and a home runs by Roberto Alomar.  In the final two innings, both pitching staffs finally got control over the game and shut their opponents down.  Unfortunately for Philadelphia, they were behind when that happened and ended up dropping Game 1, 15-14.  The game sets three new World Series records, including the longest game (4:14), most total runs scored (29), and most runs by a losing team (14).  In being responsible for the Blue Jays comeback, Philadelphia pitcher Mitch Williams received two death threats phoned into SkyDome after the game.  The Phillies scored 14 runs on 12 hits with 2 errors while the Blue Jays brought 15 across on 15 hits with 3 errors.  Phillies centerfielder Lenny Dykstra was the standout among a long list of standouts going 2 for 5 with 2 homers, a whopping 8 RBI’s and scoring 3 himself.
