Walk-Off Wonders: Only Two Men Did This!
17 Mar
Summary
- Only two players hit World Series-winning walk-off home runs.
- Joe Carter's 1993 homer clinched a second straight Blue Jays title.
- Bill Mazeroski previously achieved this feat for the Pirates.
As Major League Baseball approaches its 125th anniversary, only two players are etched in history for hitting a walk-off home run to win the World Series. Bill Mazeroski achieved this remarkable feat for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Thirty-three years later, Joe Carter delivered a championship-clinching home run for the Toronto Blue Jays.
In Game 6 of the 1993 World Series, Carter came to bat in the ninth inning with his team trailing and runners on base. Facing Mitch Williams, Carter belted a home run to left field, securing a second consecutive title for the Blue Jays. The iconic call, 'Touch 'em all, Joe! You'll never hit a bigger home run in your life!' by Tom Cheek, immortalized the moment.
