	World Series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The World Series is the championship series of Major League Baseball in the United States and Canada, the culmination of the sport's postseason each October.
		The Series winner is determined through a best-of-seven playoff (except in 1903, 1919, 1920 and 1921 when the winner was determined through a best-of-nine playoff) and is awarded the World Series Trophy, as well as World Series rings.
		These series were arranged by the individual teams, not by the leagues directly, the same as the 1880s World's Series matches had been.

	World Series
		In baseball, the World Series is the championship series of the North American Major League Baseball, played between the American League and National League champions, after the end of the regular season in October.
		The 1904 Series[?] was supposed to be between the AL's Boston Pilgrims and the NL's New York Giants.
		Frank Graham called this Series jokingly "the fat men versus the tall men at the office picnic." It is the last time to date that the Chicago Cubs have appeared in the World Series.

		While the 1990 Reds may not have possessed the aura of fame and titan-like status of the Big Red Machine teams of the 1970s, they did possess their share of legendary characters, future stars and potential Hall-of-Famers.
		He hit.231 in the post-season, and was a disappointing 1-14 in the World Series, but drove in the series-clinching run in the 8th inning of Game 4 with a sacrifice fly.
		Hatcher batted.750 in the World Series and set WS records with seven consecutive hits to open the Series and four doubles in the four-game sweep.

		Perhaps the drain of the American League Championship Series and the National League Championship Series, which were wildly competitive for the most part, exhausted the Fat Lady as she had a bit of laryngitis.
		Certainly, the World Champion Red Sox deserve all of the accolades they are now receiving, and probably more so because of their 86-year drought between World Series Championships.
		And both the 1989 and 1990 World Series were not well remembered, primarily due to their lack of competition.

		Oklahoma State's only meeting with Alabama on the diamond occurred three years ago, when the Crimson Tide entered the College World Series as the top seed and OSU was the No. 8 seed.
		The first College World Series meeting between these two schools was in 1981, when Oklahoma State defeated Miami, 12-6, in the second round of the tournament.
		The two teams have never met in the College World Series, and the last postseason play between the two was in 1987, when OSU came back to win two games vs. the Aggies to advance to the CWS out of the Mideast regional in Starkville, Miss.

		While the 1992 World Series between the Braves and Toronto Blue Jays might have fallen just short of equaling the 1991 Series for sheer excitement, it was real close.
		This time, the Series participants engaged in four one-run games out of the six -- and the decisive game was an 11-inning thrill-o-rama that for taut drama would be difficult to top.
		Another pinch-hitter, Francisco Cabrera, tried to match his NL Championship Series heroics -- it was his two-run single that enabled the Braves to sew up the NL flag -- and he sent a scorching line drive to left field.

		The Series traveled to Oakland for Game 3, but the change of scenery did the Athletics little good.

		In the most stunning World Series sweep since 1954, Cincinnati's fired-up Reds destroyed the team many were proclaiming baseball's newest dynasty.
		Reds left fielder Eric Davis, playing despite shoulder and knee injuries, provided the A's their first hint of what was to come when--on the first pitch thrown to him in the first inning--he homered over the center field wall for two runs.
		Cincinnati narrowed the gap with a run in the fourth and tied the score in the eighth when Hatcher tripled--setting a World Series record with his seventh straight hit--and came home on a grounder to short.

		It seems that in every generation there is a World Series where the underdog not only wins the title but actually sweeps its opponent in a stunning upset.
		The 1990 World Series saw the end of the three year run for Tony LaRussa's A's, a period that saw they favored to win three championships but coming away with only one title.
		Still, in 1990, they were the champions of the world and this hour-long video, along with those of the glory days of the Big Red Machine, will certainly help fans forget the team's current dismal state.

		While Gibson had won 19, 20 and 21 games in the previous three years and was bound for even greater success in the next three seasons, 1967 was in many ways most representative of the man's will to win and his ability to turn that determination into success.
		Forced to settle for 13 regular-season victories for the surprising Cardinals, who raced to a 10 1/2-game victory margin in the National League race, Gibson was ready to shoulder the load in the World Series against an even more upstart aggregation: The Boston Red Sox.
		Gibson was 2-0 thus far in the Series, having allowed only one run and 11 hits in 18 innings; Lonborg also was 2-0, having given up one run and a mere four hits in 18 innings.

		He became a Cardinal legend in Game Three of the '82 World Series, when he made two run-saving catches in the outfield, one of them involving a super-human leap-and-stretch high over the County Stadium wall to pull back a two-run home run.
		The Cardinals were in a bad way, as most of their Whiteyball talent was fading or gone, and they needed to deal the aging McGee (31) in order to rebuild.
