Don Drysdale of the 1962 Los Angeles Dodgers. The Yankees and Giants played in the 1962 World Series with the Yankees winning, 4 games to 3.
To settle the "question" of which major league baseball team is the best. It's the same reason there are playoffs in all major sports.
Willie Mays Aikens of the Kansas City Royals did it in the 1980 World Series. Chase Utley of the Philadelphia Phillies duplicated the feat in the 2009 Series.
Platooning is when a team uses two different players at the same position and usually alternate series or games depending on production.
American Professional Baseball is made up into 2 divisions or leagues. After a season of play and a couple of weeks of playoffs the 2 leagues, the American and National send their champions to the World Series. Although called the World Series there are only American teams participating. The recent World baseball classic showed American baseball is not the only dominate team around.
Pumpkins have to do with the World Series, because the world series is played around the same time Halloween is.
Red Sox and Yankees are in the same league (American) and so they can not meet in the World Series since the World Series is played between the winners of the American League and National League of the Major Baseball League
Yes, Brooks made it to Cooperstown in 1983, the same year the O's won the World Series.
My Uncle from St. Louis caught a foul ball from the 1982 World Series. His baseball has the 1982 World Series stamp on the baseball with a star stamp above the Rawlings logo. The 1982 World Series baseball is typically sold for more than other World Series baseballs. The 1982 World Series baseball could easily fetch up to $100 on eBay. I have not seen the stamp used on other game used World Series baseballs around that era. This is a very unique ball. IMO the value is easily over twice that of a non game used 1982 World Series baseball. Other 80's World Series baseballs would be hard to determine if they are actually game used. Since, the 1982 World Series had used a special stamp; these balls are easy to verify. Unless someone makes the star stamp the same size and stamped it to look similar. But, this would be costly to make a fake. Anyway, in my professional opinion, the baseball should sell for $250-$500.
Darrell Porter of the St. Louis Cardinals won the World Series MVP award in 1982. He also won the NLCS MVP that year. Willie Stargell, Orel Hershiser, Livan Hernandez and Porter are the only other players to win the league championship series MVP and World Series MVP awards in the same season.
Well, actually, you have two different types of games in your question. Post means after the season, so here are your answers: Each team plays 162 regular season games. If the team makes it to the playoffs, they can play anywhere from 3 to 19 games. The first series is the Division Series, the best out of 5 games wins the division. This means that a team can win the first 3 games, or play up to the full 5 games. The second series is the Championship Series. The best out of 7 games wins the championship. This means that a team can win the first 4 games, or play up to the full 7 games. The final series is the World Series. This series is also a best out of 7 series and the same rules apply as the Championship Series. The team could possibly lose the first 3 games of the Division Series, therefor only playing 3 games in the post season.
