1992 World Series

The 1992 World Series was the first Series ever played outside of the United States of America. It pitted the American League champion Toronto Blue Jays against the National League champion Atlanta Braves. Toronto defeated Atlanta, 4 games to 2, marking the first time a Canadian team ever won the World Series.

Trivia

• In a very rare occurrence, American League president Dr. Bobby Brown presented the World Series Trophy in the place of the commissioner. Just a month earlier, Fay Vincent was forced to resign and was replaced by Bud Selig (then owner of the Milwaukee Brewers) on what was originally perceived to be an "interim basis." Dr. Brown also presented the Blue Jays the trophy in 1993.
• Deion Sanders would've likely had been the World Series Most Valuable Player if the Braves had won. In four games, Sanders batted .533 with 4 runs, 8 hits, 2 doubles, and 1 RBI. In addition, Sanders became the first major leaguer to play in a World Series game and in a NFL game in the same week.
• Jack Morris accomplished an unprecedented feat by winning the World Series with at least three different teams (the Detroit Tigers in 1984, Minnesota Twins in 1991, and Toronto Blue Jays in 1992-1993).
• At 41 years of age, Dave Winfield became the oldest player to hit a home run in the World Series.
