The reds won the world series with Pete rose as a player in 1975 and 1976 however as a manager they never went to the playoffs with Pete although the nucleus of the 1990 world series team was mostly made up of players who were on the team when pete was suspended in 1986. however if you are asking if they won any games, of course. as a matter of fact pete rose was on more winning teams than any other player in baseball history.

Since moving from Brooklyn, New York to Los Angeles, the Dodgers have appeared in eight World Series -- in 1959, 1963, 1965, 1974, 1977, 1978, 1981 and 1988. They lost in 1974 to the Oakland A's, and in 1977 and 1978 to the New York Yankees.

Baseball is considered a development from an older game called rounders that was made popular in Great Britain and Ireland. It became an extremely popular sport during and just after the American Civil War. It was called "America's Pastime" because during the late 19th and early 20th century it was probably the most widely played sport in the country. Baseball was to that time period as Video Games and television are to today. Before TV Baseball was what kids did after school and on the weekends and during the summer...etc. It was literally how America passed the time.

Before the time of television, the internet, DVD's and the rise of American football, Basketball, hockey, NASCAR, extreme sports, and the general splintering of American culture, baseball was probably one of the few things that almost every American knew something about and could discuss/share with their neighbors, coworkers, family members that they might sit down next to on a bus etc... Hence, it was the nation's pastime.

I don't think, in this day and age, we have a "national pastime" anymore. Culture is simply too splintered. American football may the most popular sport, but being the most popular sport does not make something the "national pastime." They became no life.

The World Series Starts in October after the playoffs are finished.

The Brewers have only appeared in one World Series and that was when they were an American League team. The 1982 St. Louis Cardinals defeated Milwaukee in seven games.

Prior to the Brewers playing there, Milwaukee was home to the Braves, who won the World Series in 1957.

Since 1958, the Los Angeles Dodgers have won nine National League pennants (in 1959, 1963, 1965, 1966, 1974, 1977, 1978, 1981 and 1988) and five World Series championships (in 1959, 1963, 1965, 1981 and 1988).

Reggie Jackson hit five home runs in the 1977 World Series including three in game 6. Babe Ruth is the only other player in World Series history to hit three home runs in one game.
Reggie Jackson of the New York Yankees hit five home runs in the 1977 World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, including three in Game 6. The others came in Games 4 and 5.

He has one. He played in the 1969 world series for the new york mets.

One with the Rangers as part owner. As for with the ASTROS, not sure. He is a special advisor to the team, so he may get one there too in 2017.

The American League uses a designated hitter.

Some exceptions:

If an American League team plays at a National League Park (Yankees play at Shea Stadium or the new Citi Field against the Mets) then the American League team can't use a Designated Hitter.

If a National League team plays at an American League Park (Mets play at Yankees Stadium) then the National League team is allowed to use a designated hitter.

A 1929 New York Yankees Team Signed Baseball with the key signatures: Huggins, Ruth, Gehrig, Hoyt, Dickey, Pennock, Combs, Wells, and Lazzeri is worth about $3,000.-$5,000. Value is based on average prices of recently closed auctions. Prices may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the baseball. Prices may also vary based on the amount of signatures, and key signatures acquired. The more complete the baseball with key signatures the more valuable.
