 | World Series The World Series-or Fall Classic-annually pits the pennant winners of the American and National leagues in a best-of-seven series for the Major League Baseball championship. The New York Yankees have won 27 World Series titles, by far the most by any team. The St. Louis Cardinals are second with 11, followed by the Boston Red Sox and Philadelphia/Oakland A's, who are tied with nine apiece. The first modern World Series was a best-of-nine series played in 1903 between the American League champion Boston Americans (later Red Sox) and National League champion Pittsburgh Pirates. The Americans won the final four games to win the championship, 5-3. Boston pitcher Cy Young, MLB's all-time leader in wins (511), won Games 5 and 7. The only other best-of-nine World Series occurred in 1919, 1920 and 1921. Learn more and check them out these titles |
