World Series

162 unless there's a tie for first and neither team could win the wild card.then it would be 163 if there are two teams tied for first.(not including playoffs)

The Brooklyn Dodgers -- originally known as the Grays -- were formed as a minor league team in 1883. They moved to the American Association (then a major league) in 1884 and to the National League in 1890. They won their only MLB World Series in 1955.

That was the 1982 St. Louis Cardinals that defeated the Milwaukee Brewers in the World Series. The Cardinals 67 home runs were the fewest in MLB by 7 (Astros hit 74 HRs).

Other teams that won the World Series and hit the fewest home runs in MLB were the 1965 Los Angeles Dodgers (78 HRs), 1924 Washington Senators (22 HRs), and the 1906 Chicago White Sox (7 HRs).

Yes. A catcher gets credited with the putout on a strikeout if the ball is caught cleanly. In the event of a dropped third strike, if the catcher tags the hitter, he again gets credited with the putout. If the third strike is dropped and the catcher must throw down to first, the catcher gets credited with an assist and the first baseman gets credited with the putout. In no case would the pitcher get credit for the putout or assist.

(Please answer questions objectively when responding!!) The Blues are buidling a fine young team and if they continue to build properly, develop and sign the right supporting players they can compete and anything can happen. Just use Pittsburgh as an example. However, don't expect any Stanley Cup parades in St. Louis in the forseeable future.

Before the season starts Major League umpires are put into crews, and the crews are scheduled for their games by Major League Baseball. Once the playoffs start individual umpires are selected based on their grades during the season.

The Reds have played in the World Series nine times (world championships in bold): 1919, 1939, 1940, 1961, 1970, 1972, 1975, 1976, 1990.

Hmmm ... according to the rosters I see provided by Baseball Almanac, the only player that played for both the 1980 and 1993 Phillies was left handed pitcher Mark Davis. However, he did not participate in the postseason either year. He was a late season call up in 1980 and was not available for postseason play and was released by the Phillies on July 2, 1993 and did not participate in that postseason.

yes, sometime in the 70's or 20's

nb

2 ... 1997 Florida Marlins and 2010 San Francisco Giants.

Ivan Rodriguez played for 19 Major League season for 5 different teams. 13 seasons for the Rangers 1991 -2002, and 2009, 5 years with the Tigers 2004-2007, 1 year with the Yankees in 2008, 1 year with the Marlins in 2003, and 1 year with the Astros in 2009.

1989 against the San Francisco Giants, 4 games to 0.

This Series is best known for the devastating Loma Prieta earthquake that did severe damage to the Bay Area and disrupted the Series for 12 days.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have won the World Series 7 Times out of 19 appearances as of 2020

2020, 1988, 1981, 1965, 1963, 1959, 1955

The Twins have been in the World Series 3 times:

1965: Lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers 4 games to 3

1987: Defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 4 games to 3

1991: Defeated the Atlanta Braves 4 games to 3

as of 2008 end,

I can say as of 2023 because even if the cardinal's win the next 15 world series they will have to still win 1 more just to tie the 26 world serie win team of the NYY (New York Yankee's) the standings are:

Yankee's 26

cardinal's 10

athletic's 9

dodgers 6

giants 5

update: Yankees got their 27th win in 2009.

20 times

The above link indicates World Series won 4 games to none. However, it also show 2 ties in the 1907 and 1922 World Series, so those were technically 5-game series, not 4.

By the end of the 2008 season, Jacoby Ellsbury finished first with 50 stolen bases. Ellsbury led the American League with 50 SBs. Willie Taveras of the Colorado Rockies led MLB in stolen bases in the 2008 season with 68.

The New York Giants were the first team to lose 6 World Series, losing to the Philadelphia Athletics in 1911, Boston Red Sox in 1912, Philadelphia Athletics in 1913, Chicago White Sox in 1917, New York Yankees in 1923, and Washington Nationals in 1924.

the New York Yankees are the only team with more World Series wins than the Cardinals. The Yankees have 26 championships.

The Philadelphia Phillies of the National league(boo the phillies!). And the American league's amazing Tampa Bay Rays! The Rays had been a last place team without ever having a winning season since joining the MLB in 1998. Then in 2008, they won the toughest division in baseball, beating both the Yankees and the defending champion Red Sox! In fact, every team in that division has won a world series at one time in their existence... besides the Rays. The Red Sox got the wild card. The phillies got through their pre-World Series playoff series with ease. The Rays destroyed the White Sox in their first series, then, they faced the Red Sox in the American league championship series. It went to game 7. In a dramatic outcome, the Rays won! In the World Series the young Cinderella story team was to tired to keep it going against the rested Phillies, losing the series 4 games to 1. But they were still such a surprise that no one will ever forget their magical year.

The World Series is a best 4 out of 7 match. The most games that could be played is seven. There were a few years (1903, 1919-1921) when the World Series was a best 5 out of 9 match. In three of those years (1903, 1919, 1921) the Series lasted 8 games.

Through the 2008 season, Jason Varitek has hit 161 career home runs.
