1930 Philadelphia Athletics (#22) 4, 1993 Toronto Blue Jays (#86) 1
MVP: Jimmie Foxx (Phi 1930) .435/.519/.913, 3 HR, 13 RBI
Game 1 was tied at 2 until the Blue Jays broke it open with 4 in the 8th, including a 3-run homer by Joe Carter. From then on, the A's had at least one big inning per game, and Toronot couldn't keep up. Game 2 saw the A's be held scoreless only in the 1st and 7th innings, and scoring 5 in both the 4th and 8th, and 8 in the 5th, leading to one of the biggest blowouts of the tournament. Jimmie Foxx had 6 RBI in the game, 2 others had 3 RBI (including Jimmy Moore on a pinch-hit home run), and 4 players had 3 hits. Game 3 featured another 8-run inning by Philadelphia, with another 4 RBI for Foxx. Another blowout came in Game 4, and another in Game 5 in a Rube Walberg shutout. While Max Bishop and Jimmy Dykes didn't hit well for the series, every other Philly regular hit .375 or better.
