Joe Carter's 1993 World Series home run

Joe Carter's 1993 World Series home run was a baseball play that occurred in Game 6 of the 1993 World Series on October 23, 1993, at SkyDome in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Joe Carter hit a one-out, three-run walk-off home run off Philadelphia Phillies closer Mitch Williams to give the Toronto Blue Jays its second consecutive championship.

It was the first World Series win with a walk-off home run by a team that was trailing, and just the second World Series to end on a walk-off home run. In 1960, Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Bill Mazeroski hit a home run off New York Yankees pitcher Ralph Terry to win Game 7 by a score of 10–9.

Radio sportscaster Tom Cheek's call of "Touch 'em all Joe, you'll never hit a bigger home run in your life!" is regarded as an iconic moment in Toronto sports history.
