World Series Winners By Year: 1903-2024
The World Series is the annual championship series of Major League Baseball (MLB) in North America, contested since 1903 between the champion teams of the American League (AL) and the National League (NL). The winner of the World Series is determined through a best-of-seven playoff, and the winning team receives the Commissioner's Trophy.
How to Understand the Table
| Year | Winner | League | Opponent | League | Result |
|---|
Understanding the table is very straightforward. The "Year" column indicates the year the World Series was played. The "Winner" column displays the team that won the World Series, while the "League" column next to it specifies whether they belong to the American League (AL) or National League (NL). The "Opponent" column shows the team that the winner played against in the series, and its corresponding "League" is also provided. Lastly, the "Result" column indicates the outcome of the series, typically in the format of games won to games lost (e.g., 4-2 means the winning team won four games and lost two). — Super Bowl Halftime Show: A Spectacular History
