Game 4 of the 1993 World Series was a wild ride even by October standards.

Before Joe Carter’s iconic homer sealed the 1993 World Series, Toronto fans had already witnessed a classic. Game 4 stretched 4 hours and 14 minutes — the longest World Series game to that point — and ended with a 15-14 Blue Jays win over the Phillies. The 14 runs scored by the losing team would’ve been enough to win all but three of the previous 529 World Series games. The Jays’ 15 runs matched the total runs scored by both teams in the entire 1966 Series. A six-run rally in the bottom of the eighth flipped the script and electrified the SkyDome, setting the stage for Carter’s legendary finish two games later.
