The World Series is the largest stage for baseball players.  While it takes the effort of an entire team to reach the championship series, it is often the case that one play can change the series outcome.  World Series changing plays can come in many forms, whether it be a spectacular catch, pivotal hit or clutch pitching performance.

On this day, October 23rd, in 1993, Joe Carter hit a walk-off home run for the Toronto Blue Jays to clinch a World Series victory.  Carter’s amazing home run came in the 6th game of the World Series with the Blue Jays up three games to two against the Philadelphia Phillies.  The Blue Jays were down in a close 6-5 game with two players on base in the bottom of the 9th inning when Carter stepped up to bat.  The Count was 2-2 when Carter smashed a pitch from Mitch Williams to clinch the game.

Joe Carter is most famous for his game winning effort in the 1993 World Series.  Carter rounded the bases jumping in excitement. He will always be remembered for that great play and his unrestrained enthusiasm.
