1993 Major League Baseball season

The 1993 Major League Baseball season was the final season of two-division play in each league, before central divisions were added the following season, giving both the National League (NL) and American League (AL) three divisions each. Also, it was the last season of the four-team playoff, which was expanded to eight teams the following season that featured the three division winners and the Wild Card (the highest ranked non-division winner.)

Sixteen years after the AL expanded from 12 to 14 teams, the NL finally followed suit, with the Colorado Rockies and the Florida Marlins (now the Miami Marlins) joining the NL. As a result, it was the first season since 1976 that both leagues had the same number of teams. The Toronto Blue Jays capped off the season by winning their second consecutive World Series title, beating the Philadelphia Phillies in six games. The World Series was clinched when, in one of the most famous moments in baseball history, Joe Carter hit a three-run walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth inning of Game 6 to seal the victory.
