The World Series is set between the Boston Red Sox and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Two storied franchises battling it out in what should be a classic World Series. For this review, let's go back 25 years ago to Canada. Before Drake was even on Degrassi, Snow (remember him) was the top rapper in "The Six". Toronto didn't have an NBA franchise, "I'd Die Without You" by P.M. Dawn was the top song along many slow dances, (Note: P.M. Dawn is not from Canada, I just threw that in there) and sadly still, the Maple Leafs haven't won the Stanley Cup during this time.

Let's go bottom of nine of game 6, Phillies are up 6-5, trying to force a game 7. And Phillies manager Jim Fregosi is bringing in "Wild Thing" Mitch Williams. The same Mitch Williams that gave up the lead in the infamous 15-14 Game 4 marathon in the same World Series. Williams is in pitch and after some research, Wild Thing decided to do a side step delivery instead of his trademark high kick delivery on the first batter, Rickey Henderson to counter with Henderson's speed. It didn't work as Wild Thing walked Henderson on four pitches.

Last year, I made an article about the best World Series games in my option (check that out on our Facebook page and our website) and stated that Mitch Williams faced three batters when he actually faced four batters as he got Devon White out. Apparently, I'm not the only person that makes that mistake......Anyways, up stepped Paul Molitor to the plate. Let's note that Williams is still doing this side step delivery throughout this time. It seems like I keep bringing this up, but think about it, if you see the highlights of this game, you can tell that he looked uncomfortable with that. Maybe it was the change of the approach after Williams was shelved for 3 runs in game 4, his last pitching appearance. Yet again, the strategy didn't work as Molitor singled to center to advance Henderson in the process.

Up steps Joe Carter to the plate. During this World Series, Carter was 6-24 for a .250 batting average, so he wasn't lighting the World Series ablaze, but it seemed like a tough batter to get out. In fact, his teammate from the previous at-bat, Molitor was lighting the World Series going 12-24 (.500 batting average) and being named the MVP of the series. The count is 2-2 on Carter and watching the highlights, the cameras showed Curt Schilling covering his eyes like he knew what was about to happen. Williams delivers the 2-2 pitch on Carter. Carter hits a line drive and from the moment you see Carter hit the ball, I didn't expect anything. Maybe a long out to advance the runners, but then it would be 2 outs and Toronto would have to go to their last at-bat to win or there will be a game 7 the next night. Joe Carter probably knew when the ball hit his bat what was about to happen. The ball travels over the left field wall for a....THREE-RUN HOMER! Williams walks off the field, with his head down, dejected. Carter, with the biggest smile you will ever see, is jumping up and down rounding the bases as the SkyDome is in a happy frenzy. The Blue Jays win their second consecutive World Series in dramatic fashion.

At the time, I didn't watch the game in 1993. I listened to the game while on a fishing trip with my grandfather (shout out to grandpa) and my uncle, who is from Philadelphia (shout out to the deacon) and with Vin Scully calling the action. Safe to say, my uncle was not happy that night. I would watch the actual game later on and realized, this is one of the greatest baseball games anyone would ever see. It's the drama of sports, not the bad drama, but good drama that keeps fans wanting more. On one night, one pitcher's dejection became one batter's excitement 25 years ago.
