This legendary World Series walkoff home run demands a deep rewind | 1993 Blue Jays vs. Phillies

- The end of the 1993 World Series is one of those iconic sports moments you've probably seen in passing, but might not understand in-depth. This episode of Rewinder digs into how much was at stake, who was involved, and what a topsy-turvy battle Game 6 between the Blue Jays and Phillies really was.
Obviously, this is a Joe Carter story, and we'll get to know Carter a bit. But we also need to meet the fascinating Philadelphia pitcher, Mitch Williams, who entered this moment searching for some much-needed redemption. And while this interaction is a one-on-one match between pitcher and batter, it helps to understand just how deep both of these lineups were ... and also how things could have gone differently in a game dictated by so many little choices, little errors, and little victories.
This is one of the coolest moments in sports history, and we're gonna watch it together. But first, let's rewind.

welcome to baseball Saturday.
that doesn't sound right. anyway, hope you enjoy our latest Rewinder. it's one of the most Rewinder-y moments in baseball history and really happy with how the episode turned out. what episode y'all want to see next?
could you pls do a flippin cricket rewind
Richard Sherman's interception in the 2013 NFC Championship Game
Maybe, the 2020 playoffs (for any sport really), it would be cool to here about all that went into restarting
Could you please do the 99 champions league final between Bayern Munich and Manchester United. Will turn out into a great video
Do the nationals winning the World Series
not even a blue jays fan but i get emotional when the announcer shouts “touch em all joe, you’ll never hit a bigger home run in your life”
I feel that way about the Mariners "my oh my" call. That's how you know you're a real baseball fan. Regardless of the team, you just love seeing big moments
I’m a Rays fan and that got me a bit choked up. It’s a beautiful call.
Cheek and Howarth were SUCH a good announce team. I remember how many years it took for Tom to win the Ford C Frick award after being nominated for like 8 years... He deserved to be in the Hall of Fame for that call alone, let alone his 4300 straight games called.
One of the greatest lines in sports history.
Its just one of the greatest moments in baseball history. If you love baseball you really feel this one
"Touch 'em all Joe, you'll never hit a bigger home run in your life!"
Oh, to be a baseball player that does something that merits a call like that.
Still gives me chills. I remember watching it, and being 🇨🇦 I was definitely cheering for the jays 👍🏼
Right up there with "Get out the rye bread and mustard, Grandma, it is grand salami time!"
@Seanus Patricus Yeah, that's true. I can only really think of a couple non-baseball calls that stick out at me, like the Miracle on Ice or Havlicek Stole the Ball, but baseball is rich in calls like that. It's not that the other announcers are bad - perhaps it's that announcers can mentally prepare themselves for the situation? After all, Cheek had 4 pitches to think about what to say.
roguishpaladin I agree with you except that having seen it live myself, there was no way anyone expected he would hit a home run in that situation. So to uncork an all timer like ‘touch em all’ right in the moment like that is why cheek is in the hof. I agree that he would have had his call prepared beforehand but the modifier was next level stuff
500th like
Everybody loves Jon Bois but can we appreciate how criminally underrated Seth is?
Don’t forget Will
Will and Seth are gems hiding in plain sight 👍👍
But Seth though...
Honestly I’m a fan of everyone on this channel. They all seem like great people and are all super charismatic :)
Seth is the second biggest he’s not underrated
Imagine being Joe Carter and having a moment like this. Unbelievable.
image being Mitch Williams
Imagine being a 10 year old who loved baseball whose dad couldn't get tickets to the game, standing on the walking bridge off Front Street outside the park, with a radio listening to the crowd and the game at the same time, if not together.
@@puckstopper25 imagine being a 10 year old Phillies fan at the same exact time (me.) That is a cool story with your pops though.
David Freese can
Every kids dream
As a huge Blue Jays fan thank you for calling it the Skydome, pronouncing Toronto correct, and using Tom Cheek's legendary HR call!!
🙌🏼🤝🏼💪🏼👏🏼
@1banana2kiwis I swear I thought he said it like Turronno but 🤷🏻♂️ atleast he called it the Skydome
@1banana2kiwis Not the first time
Seth pronounced it both ways. That’s fine with me. He tried.
All hail Tuhrahndah! :P
this is one of the most legendary calls in sports history
"Touch em all Joe!" It's so unique compared to other calls
Also the general homer line of a swing and a belt.
I always thought Vin scullys Mets sox game 6 was the best & it is but this one is right up there in chills factor.
Imo it does not make up for calling him turner.
Imo it does not make up for calling him turner.
I got to meet Joe Carter a few years back (meet and greet at a Vancouver Canadians game) and he was so kind and genuinely happy to see all the Jays fans. He greeted everyone with a big smile and handshake, getting pictures with everyone. I’m glad he was the one to hit the HR
Kinda wished they'd have mentioned how we almost lost him to the Royals after the 1992 season. I'm glad history went in a different direction!
Jason Koch Yeah they really should have mentioned that, would have been a huge loss!
That’s because Joe Carter wouldn’t get that from Cleveland Indians and San Diego Padre fans
He’s a totally happy go lucky guy.
@@jasonkoch3182 how close was that to happening?
I will never forget this moment. I was in 11th grade here in Toronto, watching the game with a bunch of people in my friend's basement. We were so despondent at the idea of the series going back to Philly for game 7. Carter hit that home run and we went nuts. Jumping around, smacking the ceiling, and then we charged outside and quickly made our way to Yonge Street where the party had already started. It was euphoria! One of my most vivid memories of high school, no question. And when the Raptors won last June, I knew all the young people were having the same experience I had 26 years earlier. Amazing.
Wild Thing in movies: **defeats Yankees and White Sox**
Wild Thing in real life:
In real life, Clu Haywood and Jack Parkman would have hit it out of the park. :)
If "Wild Thing" Mitch couldn't even finish off the San Francisco Giants during Game 5 of the 1989 NLCS, what were the chances for him to stump Joe Carter in the 1993 World Series?
The answer, quoting Vince McMahon, Chairman of the WWE, NO CHANCE IN HELL.
Jeff Ng u watch too much tv bro
Wild thing wasn't the same after this game. His career went straight in the tank where he was a free agent bust for the Houston Astros, then flamed out of California and KC before getting the hint that it is over.
The Indians didn't win the world series in those movies though.
I still get chills hearing "touch 'em all Joe, you'll never hit a bigger home run in your life!"
Seeing secret base make videos about Toronto teams just warms my heart.
hopefully theyll make one about Kawhi Leonards game seven game winner in last years conference finals on the way to the championship, which was also at the expense of a Philadelphia team
@@kevinzhu6417 or the bat flip game
same
I was at this game with my father. I was 12 years old.
We never stopped talking about this day. Thank you 90s Blue Jays, thank you dad!
As a Canadian, in need of a reason to smile during these cold October days, thank ylu
xwers1234 normally I would agree but here in southern Albertas it’s beautiful
LOL that's what I was going to say. It is only the 3rd of October. Unless you live right on the north pole, or are a cold blooded reptilian, it hasn't been cold anywhere up here. At least what a Canadian would consider cold. Don't think anyone has even seen snow yet? Has it even dropped to low single digits anywhere yet?
@@Stizzfoshizz its getting colder atleast in Ontario, more windy and rainy also. But on the bright side the Autumn leaves around this time of year are pretty nice to look at
Au quebec y fait fraite en sacrament 😂
@@mathieuchampoux7227 ummmm oui oui? :D
Drake made this moment relevant to non sports fans at Meek Mill’s expense
I instantly heard the “Back 2 Back” beat in my head the second I saw the thumbnail. 😅
Who?
This moment ended Mitch's career. He was released 2 months into the following season in Houston and made sporadic appearances with the Angels and Royals before calling it quits. For every Mariano Rivera, there are numerous closers who flame out and never get it back.
There was a closer for the Red Sox( I believe) that gave up a big HR to lose the ALCS and ended up committing suicide over it. Someone can remind me all the details but I’m pretty sure that was the team.
@@jamesw1313 You might be thinking of Donnie Moore. He actually pitched for the Angels in 1986 and blew the save against Red Sox giving up a homer to Dave Henderson. The Red Sox went on to win the ALCS.
Here to remind you the Raptors, Blue Jays, and Toronto FC have all won championships than the Leafs in 53 years.
UrinatingTree beat you both to it a little while back. In longform. But yeah. It's not as bad, but imagine living in the louder, more sheep driven mentality of the general area populace with the Edmonton Oilers and their fans.
And the first three teams you mentioned have,at least to my knowledge, never lost to a 42 year old zamboni driver who works for their organization
Cranjis McBasketball I swear, when the Flames won that game I couldn’t stop laughing
Don’t forget about the Argos!
leafs are cursed.
That is one of the greatest announcer calls of all time regardless of sport.
Joe Carter baby. I love hearing story’s from my parents about this.
I’m just hoping they rewind Game 7 of the 1991 World Series. An absolutely amazing pitchers duel.
Hell, they could also rewind game 6 with Pucketts great catch and his walk off homerun
@@ferdinandfoch7816 just rewind that whole world series tbh
Problem is the most famous part of that game is Lonnie Smith pausing at 2nd base instead of going on to score...and there was still 2 more innings in the game so you couldn't rewind just to that moment.
@@Veaseify That was a very crucial moment, but the whole series in general was just a great storyline. Both teams were last in their divisions in 90, every win was at home, Morris going 10 innings. I’m sure there’s enough to justify a rewind
@@reidpreston2784 They usually focus on one defining moment though, Gene Larkin's winning hit is somehow less remembered than Lonnie Smith pulling up at 2nd for no apparent reason.
This has been long awaited. Arguably one of the greatest moments in Blue Jays history!
Now if only there was a rewinder for “the Batflip”...
ohhh man. One of the most volatile innings in baseball history
There's a Beef story about Bautista and Odor, which features the bat flip czcams.com/video/ujkc2u28vW4/video.html
Joe Carter is the only one who can say he hit a walk off home run to win the World Series that’s still alive
Bill Mazeroski is as I write this, still with us as well, at the age of 86.
I'm born and raised in Toronto. Thank you for this. Easily the most iconic moment of my childhood. Well this and getting Super NES for Christmas.
No Fear.... the most 90s company of all?
Jnco Jeans: Hold my surge.
Ahhhhh hahaha “Surge” I actually liked that gasoline
Gecko Hawaii: hold my Capri Sun
Duck head 😃
Wait.. No. Surf style, those neon colored windbreakers 😂
Hahaha
Ha ha.
I just coughed pepsi on my shirt.
The good news is it's crystal Pepsi.
The bad news is it was ice cold and I'm wearing my hypercolour t-shirt.
Did someone say Ocean Pacific? Please hold my Clearly Canadian while I try on this Big Johnson shirt
Thank you for using the Tom Cheek call. To this day, that call sends shivers up my spine and brings a tear to my eye. All the memories of that moment, 16 year old me watching at home, just come flooding back.
It's a shame that most of the baseball media overlooks this moment when talking about top WS moments
I remembered that Drake used a picture of the crowd in the 1993 World Series as a single cover for Back To Back. And yes, the Phillies played in that series and Meek Mill is from Philly.
That's so clever
Theres something about Philadelphia and Toronto, we beat them here and last year in the NBA conference finals in a crazy game seven for the Raptors first chip also.
Phillies fan here. That was a BRUTAL memory for me to relive, but I appreciate how well you did it. Please, lift me back off of the mat by doing a Rewinder of Tug Mcgraw striking Willie Wilson in 1980 to give the Phillies their first ever World Series.
Bonus: We get to see that amazing Pete Rose catch again!!
I forgot how freaking stacked this Jay's lineup was! Great rewinder here!
half of the American League’s All Star team that year were from the Jays roster
As a Canadian I appreciate you making this
This happened on my 11th birthday. I can still picture the scene as we had this game on throughout the party. I was already a fan, but this moment ensured that I will *ALWAYS* be a fan of the Blue Jays.
Blue Jays fans everywhere thank you for finally doing this!
@Harry Engel The pitching actually declined in 1993 BIG TIME. They had a lot of big names in the rotation...Morris, Stewart, Guzman, and Hentgen, but only Guzman had a decent FIP (3.77). It's crazy how Hentgen got 19 wins that year with a 4.61 FIP...it's safe to say that the Jays wouldn't have made the playoffs that year if not for their incredible offense.
@Harry Engel Yup, by a long-shot. They had a solid bullpen both years though.
I was 12 years old and will never forget watching that moment.
I was four months old and will never remember watching that moment.
Apparently I was, per my parents lmao.
nostalgia overload! Tony Fernandez was my fave
I grew up watching the Jays, and watched this game at home as it happened. I haven't watched any live sports in over a decade, but when this came up on my feed, it was an immediate click for me. Hearing Tom Cheek call this homer again brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for covering this moment, it means a lot to me.
"Touch em all Joe! You'll never hit a bigger home run in your life" might be the greatest home run call of all time
Great video! I loved living through those times with the Jays. I just watched a panel with Joe Carter, Cito Gaston, Rickey Henderson, and Dave Stewart. When Joe swung at the really bad second strike pitch, he explained that Mickey Morandini stood in the perfect spot behind the pitcher where he lost sight of the ball because it blended in with Morandini's jersey. So he figured they were going to try that pitch again but if he could see that it was a good pitch, he was ready to act on instinct. And the rest is history. A great chat to watch, he went through exactly what he was thinking the whole at bat!
Great memories. Saw a playoff game that year. Was at Yonge St in front of HMV with a huge crowd watching this game on the big screen. When Carter hit that homerun. The crowd erupted and it was a massive celebration like no other. It felt like a carnival all night into the morning. Great time.
As a Canadian baseball fan, born near Toronto. That moment was, and will forever be the greatest sports moment ever.
I was 7 years old and my parents let me stay up to watch this. One of my best memories with my father was seeing how excited he got watching this. He didn't care much for baseball but seeing my brothers and I so excited made him happy. Sometimes a sport is more than just a game
My parents watched this happen live in 1993. It was awesome watching them see it again 27 years later. Thank you!
I watched this game as a kid and thinking how cool it was. Wasn't a baseball fan per se, but you don't have to be to appreciate joy and euphoria like this.
This just made the Jays fan in me smile from ear to ear. This was one of those moments that brought a whole country together to celebrate. Just like the Raptors did last year.
@Kevin Foster If it was any other city they beat (except maybe Boston) they wouldn't be cheering. Our hate is just bandwagon nonsense
Before bautista's bat flip, a world series vhs from before i was born, some stories about this moment from my dad was all i had as a jays fan
This Phillies team was one of the most interesting and beloved in the history of Philly sports. They never had anything like it before, and never have since
Been a Blue Jays fan since I was a kid, and I was about a month and a half old when they won their first series, and still barely comprehending with the repeat. Been a great team to watch from the highs of Bautista Vs. the Rangers to the lows of BJ Ryan taking the mound, always gonna be my favourite sports team, and my country's only remaining semblance of professional baseball.
And since that day, Joe Carter can eat anywhere around Toronto without paying a single dollar
he deserves it. he’s one of the kings of toronto.
Same with Kawhi lol
@@kanegarvey3188 Wish he stayed with them, though. :(
@@kanegarvey3188 he lost his pass! Lol
Those two World Series teams from Toronto were stacked.
Underrated as one of the all time best collection of players to win the series
This video is a time machine. Bringing me back almost 20 years.
I remembered more about this team than I expected. Nearly every one of the Blue Jays' names tripped a memory from childhood. Guess I was more into our boys as a kid than I thought.
I still remember that moment from when I was 13. Still to this day, Tom Cheeks call of that sends chills down my spine
I'll never forget where I was when this happened. Besides my bias for the 05 White Sox, this was the greatest moment in baseball I ever witnessed.
Almost 30 years later and that home run call is still goose bump worthy.
Im a huge baseball fan, 37 years old (born in 83). This moment is legit the furthest back memory I have of watching baseball
If nothing else, this story should remind all of us that Curt Schilling is a tool
Yep, still deserves to be in the hall though. being a decent person is not a prerequisite. see: Ty Cobb
@@hirshja The in-depth research that I've seen from historians gives me the impression that Cobb has been unfairly smeared.
Costa Zambaras madison bumgarner wants a word
@Costa Zambaras so many bad takes rolled in one, gotta be a troll.
He'll block you on Twitter if you tweet that towel on the head picture at him
As a lifelong Blue Jays fan, I get goosebumps every time. “Touch ‘em all, Joe”. Great call from one of the all-time greats in Tom Cheek. Perfect ending!
As a son of the City of Toronto, I thank you for a much deserved deep rewind.
Commentators in baseball are a different breed, they always capture these moments so well even as a neutral you can't help but get emotional
Rewinder on one of: Cavs drafting Anthony Bennett in 2013, the end of Nuggets vs. SuperSonics in 1994 or Raja Bell's shot against Clippers in OT in 2006.
I'm a proud blue Jay's fan. Wasn't alive to witness it live but still a legendary moment
Same
Get off my lawn!
This is why I love Joe Carter!
The phrase "welcome to a moment in history" never fails to give me goosebumps.
Shoutout to the host for pronouncing Toronto like us Torontonians would!
I remeber watching this game wjhen i was 9. Touchem all Joe!
I was thirteen During this world series. I played a lot of baseball almost 20 years. Never watch the game. That compared to watching that World Series game. Joe Carter Thank you. For giving me the most entertaining baseball game of my life.
The best moment in Baseball.
I hit a walkoff the same year to help my team win the eastern Canadian championship. It was was the best feeling I've ever had! Thank you Joe. You'll never hit another one as big as that one.
Toronto:
Crushing the hearts of Philly fans since 1993
Except the Maple Leafs :P
Finally a new baseball rewinder.
Thanks for reliving this moment. I was watching at a local bar and it just exploded into the street for a wild party.
I remember that. “Touch them all Joe”. It defined my childhood. I was a new immigrant to Canada and this piece of memory solidify my attachment and gave me a sense of being a part of the country. O’Canada
RIP Tom Cheek and Tony Fernandez.
and John Cerutti and Mike Flanagan
I rememeber watching this laying on the floor at my friend's house.
FINALLY!!! I've been asking for this since the first episode!
My mom immigrated to Canada in 1992 and she didn't have a way to watch shows in Tamil, so she watched this exact baseball series.
I remember the pure shock on both of my brothers faces hearing our mom go in depth on watching Joe Carter play this exact game, because we went like 20 years without a mention of the fact that she was into sports, ever. This video was incredible. Thank you so much for it.
Damn. I'm really early on this one.
Anyway, when is Larry Bird's steal getting a rewind?
Or the Havlicek steal
Obama
Could you please do another baseball thing!! Either a collapse of the 2000s-2010s Phillies, or rewinders of either Roy Halladays post season no hitter in his first ever playoff start, or the 2017 WS game 5. That game 5 might need one of those rewinders where it skips forward to 2020 and the scandal.
Really don't need to see that episode of Collapse.
I have been looking forward to this rewind ever since I first subscribed to this channel. Thank you for finally making a video of this moment!
Yes!!!! I have been asking for this forever! Thank you!!!!!!
Haven't Phillies fans suffered enough? Why do you have to hurt us like this?
That being said, I hate myself so can you please to a collapse of the 2008 Phillies?
Yes
Can we get a rewind on Fisk’s homerun in Game 6 of the ‘75 World Series
As a Blue Jays fan who came 5 years too late to experience this moment in all of its glory in a deeper context of that season, this video was awesome. Though I have the Joe Carter call memorized, I wish I was around to see this glorious moment in Toronto sports history.
Such a beautiful call of the homerun.
I'm glad Toronto got to experience a moment like that, especially considering the Yankees were about to go completely berzerk in the next few years. Toronto peaked at just the right time.
Thank you so much for this.
My Make-a-Wish was to stay in one of those wild expensive SkyDome hotel rooms overlooking the field and meeting my hero, Joe Carter.
I'll never forget being 11 years-old, draped resplendently in Blue Jays attire, crying my face off that the Jays were going to lose (I was/am sensitive. Fight me. Actually don't, I'm sensitive). After falling asleep in a couch pillow soaked with the tears of my innocence, my dad shook me awake, pointed to the TV, and ::CRACK:: Joe Carter became the most important man on the planet (sorry, Dad), replacing Candy Maldonado as my favorite ball player.
He was my favorite because his name was Candy and I was 9.
But now, I was a rugged 11 years old, and racist face Curt Schilling's Phillies could suck a butt.
Thank you, Seth.
I can't wait to show my dad.
@@curmudgeonaf Oh man! 11 year-old me is dying of jealousy!
TOUCH EM ALL
joe, you'll never hit a bigger home run in your life
This was a great little video and I loved the contextualization that went into it. I'm very familiar with the game having watched it nervously in my living room all those many years ago.
Thanks for the video.
As a Canadian I watched that moment! Thanks for covering it
As a Jays fan, I miss the days when fireworks went off for home runs. We definitely gotta bring that back.
So I have a crazy story on how my dad got the 1992-93 rings from the jays
So my dad was an accountant for the jays during this stretch and apparently staff members get a ring too, and then he quit after those seasons because of a strike
Not so crazy... seriously
Excellent rewind analysis, Dude. Thanks for the goosebumps.
I’ve watched this game and this moment so many times in my life, and I never get tired of it! Thanks for doing a deep dive on one of the biggest moments in Blue Jays history.
Joe Carter caused Kevin Garrity to get that Toronto hooters waitress pregnant, and then young Julian McGrath was born.
😂😂...Big Daddy
Will B. Smooth 😂 I knew the real ones would remember
💯💯💯
Chicken wings and Molson 3-0
It also helped Sonny Koufax become a more responsible human being as well.
i've never been this early.
I met Joe a few years back. He is royalty here in Toronto as you can imagine. Just a legend. He was in town for a charity event and was kind enough to take the time to hold a clinic for my son's little league. I have video of him in the cage, holding my son's bat and personally giving him a hitting lesson. I spoke to him briefly after and I, a grown ass man, was about to pee my pants like a little girl! I'm not ashamed to admit it. Touch em all Joe, touch em all. What a moment...
Great recap and nicely edited. Thanks!
Watched this on a 10" color TV with 8 people in a kitchen in St Johns NL
Awesome, watched it with my Dad here in St.Johns also! Never forget it.
@@jojokabo78 Was in a bar just off Yonge street. We poured out onto the street and soon there were hundreds of thousands of revelers.
To Clara Morris: next time you do a “Rewind”, make sure to take the red car VHS rewinder from Seth!
Wish she’d get dropped from the channel.
@@thejmc4074 bruh what the hell do you have against Clara
@@thejmc4074 wtf clara's great
The JMC bro she’s great what are you on?
As a life long Jays fan, this is easily the greatest memory that I have. That series was incredible, it was a battle of two teams with insane scoring power. That Jays line up was the best that I have ever seen. I was not as big of a Carter fan as most, but his leadership and charisma are undeniable to this day. I really loved watching Molitor hit, as he was the consistent of them all.
I graduated from high school that year. I was watching this game with my older brother in his room in the basement. Ill never forget it.
Been waiting for years for u guys to make a video about this....and very glad i am now 🙏
I remember this moment so well
Thank you for the memories to warm this old Canadian heart
Awesome job. I watched every minute of that series and Joe's walk off game winning homer is an indelible memory.
I love these videos because it's like taking a little trip into a corner of history I had no clue even happened. Keep it up!
