1993
In one of the wildest games in World Series history, the Blue Jays come out on top in Game four with a 15-14 victory. Toronto's 6-run rally in the 8th inning is capped by Devon White's 2-run triple, while Lenny Dykstra hits a pair of homers for the losers.
This was one of the weirdest World Series games I remember. Here is the box score. Milt Thompson had five RBI for the Phillies. Tony Fernandez had five RBI for the Blue Jays. Mitch Williams got the loss for Philadelphia..
1990
The talk of an Oakland dynasty is proven premature, as Cincinnati beats Oakland 2–1 to complete one of the most stunning sweeps in World Series history. Series MVP Jose Rijo (2-0, 0.59 ERA) retires the last 20 batters he faces to give the Reds their first World Championship since 1976. Not joining the celebration at the end is Eric Davis, who ruptures his kidney diving for a ball during the game and is taken to the hospital. It will take Davis several years to fully recover.
And the manager of that Reds team? Lou Pinella. And now you know the rest of the story. Take heart, Cub fans.
