The 1993 Little League World Series took place between August 23 and August 28 in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. The Long Beach Little League of Long Beach, California defeated the David Doleguita Little League of David, Panama in the championship game of the 47th Little League World Series. It was Long Beach's second consecutive championship, becoming only the third team to do so (the others being Seoul, South Korea in 1984-85, and Monterrey, Mexico in 1957 and 1958.)
The Taiwanese winners of the Far East series, and the Dominican winners of the Latin American series were disqualified before the Little League World Series; the Taiwanese for fielding a team that was the only one competing at a school of 2100 students, in contravention of the rule that requires schools of over 1000 to field at least four teams per age group if they are to be represented in the Little League World Series, and the Dominicans for using players who failed residency and age requirements. They were replaced by the representatives of Saipan and Panama respectively. Jeremy Hess hit a long-drive winning RBI to clinch the title for Long Beach.

Famous quotes containing the words league, world and/or series:
“I am not impressed by the Ivy League establishments. Of course they graduate the best—it’s all they’ll take, leaving to others the problem of educating the country. They will give you an education the way the banks will give you money—provided you can prove to their satisfaction that you don’t need it.”
—Peter De Vries (b. 1910)
“All the world is full of inscape and chance left free to act falls into an order as well as purpose.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
“Life ... is not simply a series of exciting new ventures. The future is not always a whole new ball game. There tends to be unfinished business. One trails all sorts of things around with one, things that simply won’t be got rid of.”
—Anita Brookner (b. 1928)
