Atlanta Braves tickets

Umpire Bob Davidson, to his credit, admitted later that he missed the call. If Sanders had been called out it would have been just the second triple play in Series history. As it stood, White's play still ranked among the very best. "That would have been a tough catch for Willie Mays, DiMaggio, or Duke Snider," said Ernie Banks, who attended the game. "I thought he had no chance,"Joe Carter said. "But if anybody in baseball can make that catch, it's Devon." The play eventually enabled Toronto to win the game when The Jays won their third straight game the next day, as Jimmy Key's fine pitching beat the Braves, 2-1. Morris would attempt to win the final game of the World Series for the second year in a row with the Blue Jays now leading the Series three games to one. But Morris, still winless in the 1992 post-season, gave up a grand slam to Lonnie Smith as the Braves won Game 5 convincingly, 7-2.

The Blue Jays tried again to close out the Series in Game 6. There were almost as many people watching the game on the Jumbotron in Toronto, 45,551, as attended the real. lead into the bottom of the ninth thanks to the outstanding pitching of David Cone and three relievers. Toni Henke took the mound to close out the game, but the stubborn Braves rallied, scoring the tying run on a two-out single by Otis Nixon, who had missed the previous year's Series after being suspended for cocaine use. It was the first run the Toronto bullpen had allowed in sixteen World Series innings and it sent the game into extra innings. With two Blue Jays on base in the eleventh, 41-year-old Dave Winfield shot a double down the line to score both runners. Toronto was three outs away from winning the Series for the second time in the game, but the pesky Braves again mounted a comeback. One run had scored and pinch runner John Smoltz stood on third with the tying run. Nixon, who had tied Toronto's Mike Timlin. Nixon hoped to surprise Carter at first base with a drag bunt, but both Carter and Timlin were prepared. "You could almost see it in his eyes that he was going to bunt," Carter said. The bunt went to Timlin, who scooped it up and threw to Carter for the final out of the Series.

Toronto Manager Clarence "Cito" Gaston was criticized throughout the season and the Series for his bizarre and seemingly illogical strategies. But he saved his job by winning the world championship, and in the process became the first African-American manager to do so. It was also the first time the championship of America's national game had been won by a team outside the United States. "They turned our flag upside clown," one Toronto fan said, "and we turned their world upside down."
