That was Billy Martin whose single scored Hank Bauer in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Yankees a 4-3 victory in Game 6 and a 4-2 games victory in the 1953 World Series. That hit was Martin's 12th and is still a record (tied with Roberto Alomar in 1993, Marquis Grissom in 1996, and Paul Molitor in 1993) for number of base hits in a 6 game World Series.
You name it, it happened.
The game went twelve innings.
Boston was down 6-3 in the 8th, when they got a three-run, pinch-hit homer to tie the game. They had bases loaded, nobody out in the 9th, when a perfect throw to the plate nailed what would have been the winning run. Dwight Evans made a game-saving catch in the 11th. And it all ended with a home run by Carlton Fisk that BARELY hit the pole. If (like me) you watched the entire game, you'll never forget watching Fisk trying to make the ball stay fair.
Joe Carter hit the game-winning home run in the bottom of the ninth inning of Game 6 to win the 1993 World Series.

Chicago White Sox, 88 years without winning a World Series. Before 2005 they did not win a World Series since 1917.
Their longest streak of not winning the World Series is 24 years, from 1982 to 2006.
Yes. The last 2 World Series droughts for the New York Yankees was 1963 -1976, 13 years without winning a series, and 1979 -1995, 17 years without winning a World Series. A Cubs fan would laugh at that.
