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:
“He will deliver you from six troubles; in seven no harm shall touch you. In famine he will redeem you from death, and in war from the power of the sword. You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, and shall not fear destruction when it comes. At destruction and famine you shall laugh, and shall not fear the wild animals of the earth. For you shall be in league with the stones of the field, and the wild animals shall be at peace with you.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Job 5:19-23.
“Let the ruling classes tremble at a communist revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Workingmen of all countries, unite!”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“I look on trade and every mechanical craft as education also. But let me discriminate what is precious herein. There is in each of these works an act of invention, an intellectual step, or short series of steps taken; that act or step is the spiritual act; all the rest is mere repetition of the same a thousand times.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
