Everyone, please give a warm Running Down a Dream welcome back to Mrs. Katrina Kincaid. She correctly named "Jesus, Etc." by Wilco as the Tuesday Song of the Day.

#4-1993 World Series-Philadelphia Phillies v. Toronto Blue Jays

Yes, you probably mentally blocked out the fact that a Canadian baseball team actually won consecutive World Series in the early 90's. It's true or at least Steve Hirdt at the Elias Sports Bureau says it is and Steve's word is gold. Anywho....

This series featured a pretty interesting cast of characters: John Kruk, Lenny "Nails" Dykstra, Mitch "The Wild Thing" Williams, Curt Schilling, Paul Molitor, Joe Carter, and the helmeted one, John Olerud.

Game 4 set three World Series records:

• Longest World Series game (4 hours, 14 minutes)



• Most combined runs (29)



• Most runs scored by a losing team (14)
  
  
  

  Of course, we all remember Joe Carter's 3 run blast off "The Wild Thing" in the 9th inning of Game 6 to clinch the title for the Jays. Carter's homerun was the first series clinching homerun since Bill Mazeroski's improbable shot to stun the Yankees in Game 7 of the 1960 Series.
  

I remember a few years ago ESPN did a bizarre segement where they had Carter and Mitchell come together to talk about how that moment has affected their lives. That might sound pretty normal, but I remember ESPN shot the segment in a bowling alley. I'm not sure if Carter or Williams is an avid bowler, but that always seemed very odd to me. Who knows? Maybe bowling alleys are bringing people together across America. Here's to you AMF, healer of our national wounds.
