There was no World Series in 1876. The first World Series was played in 1903.
0. As of the start of the 2008 season, Alex Rodriguez has never played on a World Series winning team.Let me just say as of November 5, 2009 A-Rod has a World Series Ring with CHAMPIONS NEW YORK YANKEES!!
The only MLB games played in November have been World Series games, and this has only happened in three World Series: 2001, 2009, and 2010. Game 4 of the 2001 Series began on October 31 but ended after midnight with a Derek Jeter home run. All other games of that series -- which combined for four more home runs -- were played in November. Incredibly, Arizona scored 15 runs in Game 6 but did not get one single homer or triple. Games 4, 5, and 6 of the 2009 Series were played in November, and featured a total of seven homers -- three by Chase Utley. His "record" of three home runs hit in November will probably remain for awhile. Game 5 of the 2010 Series was played on November 1, but no player hit a home run.
Fist player to come to bat in NovemberDerek Jeter was the first Major League player to come to bat in the month of November. He did it in the 4th game of the 2001 World Series, as he came to bat after midnight in an extra inning game. Derek met November with a blast as he hit a Home Run. That was the first World Series game ever played in the month of November. Derek was given the nickname Mr. November.
The Boston Red Sox defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 4 games to 0 to win the 100th World Series. The World Series began in 1903, but due to the 1994 strike, the World Series was not played that season. The 2003 World Series was advertised as the 100th Anniversary, but the 2004 series was the 100th World Series actually played.
