The American League champion New York Yankees swept the National League champion Chicago Cubs 4 games in none in the 1932 World Series. The World Series was the only post season played in 1932, as there were no league divisions and "wild card" teams at that time.
Yes, twice. In 2002, the Anaheim Angels and the San Francisco Giants were both Wild Card teams and wound up facing each other in the World Series. The Angels won that series. Starting in 2012, there are two Wild Card teams from each League, which increases the odds of this situation happening. It has already happened once since the change, in 2014 when the San Francisco Giants defeated the Kansas City Royals.
You get to the World Series by being the division champion. To get this, you have to win the most games in your division. Three teams get to the play offs. There is also a Wild Card in which the team with most wins in the league besides the division champion gets to be. The Wild Card also gets to go to the play offs. At the play offs, the eight teams verse each other in a first-to-win-three games series. The winner gets to go to the league championship series where there is a first-to-win-four games series. The winner of that gets to go to the World Series.
Yes. Five teams have won the World Series as wild card teams.Florida Marlins (1997)Anaheim Angels (2002)Florida Marlins (2003)Boston Red Sox (2004)St. Louis Cardinals (2011)
