		Examining the 51 World Series held prior to this year’s games, yields that this pattern has transpired a total of four times (prior to 2003).
		One could compare the 2003 Florida Marlins to the 1951 New York Giants and 1967 Boston Red Sox in that they advanced to the World Series by virtue of some heroics (as opposed to steamrolling their league).
		This leaves only the 1951 World Series as a year where it matches 2003 World Series – as it relates to the team’s standings background, the way the games sites were laid out, and the outcome of the first two games.
