History

Historical Context

The Toronto Blue Jays made history in 1993 by defeating the Philadelphia Phillies in six games to win their first World Series, becoming the first Canadian team to achieve this feat. Joe Carter's iconic walk-off home run in Game 6 on October 23, 1993, secured the championship. This victory marked a significant moment in Canadian sports, as it was the last championship win by a Canadian team until the Toronto Raptors in 2019.
