The World Series is about a world championship against the National League champion and the American League champion. The World Series started in 1903 against the Boston Americans versus the Pittsburgh Pirates. Boston won 5 games to 3. As of today, there was 108 World Series played ever since then.
Baseball's first modern World Series was in 1903. The American League's Boston Red Sox upset the New York Giants 5 games to 3, in a best of 9 series. The first baseball series called the World Series took place in 1882, with the American Association champion playing the National League champion. But those were considered exhibition games, and are not generally recognized as part of the World Series history.
The 1957 Milwaukee Braves defeated the New York Yankees in seven games.
The 2009 New York Yankees defeated the defending world champion Philadelphia Phillies in six games.
Only two teams go to the World Series: the American League champion and the National League champion.
