The SkyDome didn’t just host baseball games in October—it held moments that refused to fade. The roar that shakes the rafters when the Jim Eisenreich three-run homer clears the fence—these memories live on, even decades later. For the Blue Jays, those World Series moments haven’t been relived since 1993, when they completed something rare in baseball: defending a championship.

Thirty-two years have passed since the Blue Jays last played for a World Series title. That 1993 appearance closed a two-year window when Toronto stood atop the baseball world, winning in 1992 and defending successfully in 1993. The drought that followed has only amplified what those teams accomplished—they didn’t just win championships, they shattered the assumption that baseball’s ultimate prize belonged exclusively south of the border.

How did the Blue Jays secure their last World Series title in 1993?

The 1993 World Series saw the Blue Jays face the Philadelphia Phillies in a slugfest that lived up to the hype. The series unfolded as a six-game thriller that showcased both teams’ offensive firepower, with Toronto ultimately prevailing 4-2 in games.

Game 4 had the most runs scored in the history of the playoffs, with 15-14 in favor of Toronto. The Blue Jays came back from being down 14-9 in the seventh inning with six runs in the eighth. But Game 6 had the moment that would make the series what it was. In the bottom of the ninth inning, with two runners on base and the score 6-5, relief pitcher Mitch Williams was facing Joe Carter. Carter hit a three-run home run over the left field fence, ending the game.

It marked the only second time in World Series history that a game ended with a come-from-behind homer. Paul Molitor was named MVP of the World Series because he hit .500 and had eight RBIs, two doubles, two triples, and two home runs.

What made the 1992 World Series a historic Achievement?

The 1992 World Series was very important in the history of the clubhouse. The Toronto Blue Jays’ six-game win over the Atlanta Braves was the first time a Canadian team had ever won a World Series in MLB history. The series put both teams to the test with big swings and high-pressure situations that showed they were ready to capture the championship.

In Game 2, pinch-hitter Ed Sprague drove Jeff Reardon’s first pitch over the left-field wall with one out in the ninth inning. This gave Toronto a 5-4 lead. Candy Maldonado hit a walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth the next night to win the game 3-2. Devon White played great defense in Game 3, chasing down David Justice’s deep fly ball and jumping to collect it before hitting the wall in center field. The series ended in Game 6 when Dave Winfield hit a double in the 11th inning to break a 2-2 tie. Mike Timlin then retired Otis Nixon on a bunt attempt with the tying runner on third base.

Toronto closed the series 4–2 and tasted the first-ever October Glory.

How did Deion Sanders contribute to the 1992 World Series?

Deion Sanders came to the 1992 World Series with the pressure of two professional careers on his shoulders. Sanders enjoyed his greatest baseball season, hitting .304 with a league-leading 14 triples in 97 games. He had changed his NFL contract before the season so he could rejoin the Braves for the postseason after reporting to training camp with the Atlanta Falcons.

Even though he was hurt, he played extremely well in the World Series. While playing with a broken bone in his foot, Sanders hit at an average of .533 in four games, scoring four runs, getting eight hits, two doubles, and one RBI. He led the Braves in batting average, OBP, slugging percentage, total bases, and win probability added. Sanders stole bases aggressively throughout the series, notably stealing second base and moving to third base on a bad throw in Game 3. He then scored the go-ahead run on a David Justice single. In that same game, Sanders almost became part of what would have been only the second triple play in World Series history. Devon White made a leaping grab on a deep David Justice fly ball, but an umpire’s call saved Sanders when he ran back to second base.

A player who shone throughout the season for the Braves despite the loss.

What is the Legacy of the Blue Jays’ back-to-back championships?

The Blue Jays’ World Series run in Toronto in 1992–1993 changed what was possible for baseball outside of the United States. It showed that a Canadian team could compete at the highest level by putting together a roster that included both veteran stars and up-and-coming players. Their success led to talks about expanding the sport and making it more popular around the world, which are still going on today.

The championships changed how people in Toronto felt about baseball, as a whole generation of supporters saw their club reach the top. These wins made the Blue Jays more than just a team; they were a source of national pride, showing that October glory wasn’t just for traditional American baseball locales. After winning the championship, the club went through roster changes and rebuilding phases, but those back-to-back titles are still the standard by which all other Toronto teams are judged. The drought since 1993 makes those accomplishments seem even more amazing.

The franchise and its fans aim to bring back that golden age. Now, with World Series 2025 starting on Friday against the mighty Dodgers, it will be an interesting watch. Will the Blue Jays bring the 3rd World Series? Or the Dodgers will do what the Jays did in 1992 and 1993?
