No. They cannot play each other in the World Series as both teams are in the National League.
In the 2002 World Series, both the Angels and the Giants made the playoffs as wild card teams.
2000.
They never played each other in the World Series. This couldn't happen due to the fact that both the Yankees and Red Sox are American League teams. The American league plays the National League in the World Series.
My crystal ball says the 2102 World Series will be the Chicago Cubs versus the Cleveland Indians. Remarkably however, somehow both teams will lose! :D
In 2000 World Series, the American League Champions Yankees faced the National League Champion Mets in th World Series. It was the first time the two teams met in the World Series. There have been previous series Where the New York Giants or the Brooklyn Dodgers faced the New York Yankees in the World Series, but it has now happened in over 50 years because both National League Franchises has since relocated.
I am currently getting the info, but for now, I just know Bengie Molina.
The 1944 World Series pitted the St. Louis Cardinals against the St. Louis Browns. It marked the only appearance in the World Series by the Browns. The Cards won the series 4-2. Since both teams claimed Sportsman Park in St. Louis as their home field, the entire series was played in the same ball park.
The world series
The New York Yankees won 27 World Series titles most by a team in both the American, and National League.
The 1921 World Series between the New York Yankees and New York Giants. All 8 games were held at the Polo Grounds. The Yankees moved to Yankee Stadium 2 years later, but before that move both teams shared the Polo Grounds. In 1944, the St. Louis Browns played the St. Louis Cardinals in Sportsman's Park in St. Louis. The Browns owned the ballpark and the Cardinals were the tenant. Not only did they play the World Series there, both teams shared the stadium for regular season games.
Yes. It's rare, but if a player has played for two teams and they both make it to the World Series, that player will get a ring regardless of who wins. In 2010 that player will be Bengie Molina.
