Which MLB team won the 1992 World Series, the first title by a team outside the United States?

The story behind the answer

The Toronto Blue Jays won the 1992 World Series, becoming the first team based outside the United States to win an MLB championship.

Toronto defeated the Atlanta Braves four games to two. The Blue Jays won the decisive Game 6 at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, overcoming the Braves 4–2 to claim the franchise’s first championship.

The title was historic for Major League Baseball because Toronto became the first Canadian club to win the World Series. The Blue Jays repeated as champions in 1993, defeating the Philadelphia Phillies in six games and remaining the only Canadian team to win the World Series.

A common mix-up is choosing the Montreal Expos, another Canadian MLB franchise. The Expos never won a World Series before relocating to Washington, D.C., in 2005 and becoming the Nationals. The Seattle Mariners also have never won the World Series.
