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)
“He looked like the love thoughts of women. He could be a bee to a blossom—a pear tree blossom in the spring. He seemed to be crushing scent out of the world with his footsteps. Crushing aromatic herbs with every step he took. Spices hung about him. He was a glance from God.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“The professional celebrity, male and female, is the crowning result of the star system of a society that makes a fetish of competition. In America, this system is carried to the point where a man who can knock a small white ball into a series of holes in the ground with more efficiency than anyone else thereby gains social access to the President of the United States.”
—C. Wright Mills (1916–1962)
