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.

“We’re the victims of a disease called social prejudice, my child. These dear ladies of the law and order league are scouring out the dregs of the town. C’mon be a glorified wreck like me.”
—Dudley Nichols (1895–1960)
“If any ambitious man have a fancy to revolutionize, at one effort, the universal world of human thought, human opinion, and human sentiment, the opportunity is his own—the road to immortal renown lies straight, open, and unencumbered before him. All that he has to do is to write and publish a very little book. Its title should be simple—a few plain words—”My Heart Laid Bare.” But—this little book must be true to its title.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
“As Cuvier could correctly describe a whole animal by the contemplation of a single bone, so the observer who has thoroughly understood one link in a series of incidents should be able to accurately state all the other ones, both before and after.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
