The 1996 World Series were played in seven games between the defending World Series champion and AL Pennant winner Miami Suns and the National League champion Philadelphia Phillies. After jumping out to a 2-0 series lead, the Phillies dropped their next three straight games against the defending champions, including being shutout twice at home, only to win the do-or-die sixth game and lose the next night in Game Seven in front of a sold-out Miami crowd. The Series handed the Suns their third pennant in four years and cemented them as the premier program of the 1990's.
