As of October 2023, only the Boston Red Sox in 2004 and the Chicago Cubs in 2016 have won the World Series after being down 3 games to none. The Red Sox famously came back to defeat the New York Yankees in the American League Championship Series before winning the World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cubs ended a 108-year championship drought by overcoming the Cleveland Indians in the World Series after their historic comeback.
The significance of the World Series being a best of 7 series is that it allows for a more fair and competitive matchup between the two teams. With more games, it reduces the impact of luck or chance determining the outcome, and gives both teams a better chance to showcase their skills and determine the true champion.
The Seattle Mariners, the Washington Nationals, and the Texas Rangers are the only teams that have never made it to the World Series.
There have been alot of teams that have won the world series after starting 4-2.
