Event History

The World Series is the championship series of Major League Baseball, the culmination of the sport's postseason each October. Since the Series takes place in mid-autumn, sportswriters many years ago dubbed the event the Fall Classic.

The World Series is played between the champion clubs of the American League and the National League. The "modern" World Series has been an annual event since 1903.

The World Series championship is determined through a best-of-seven playoff. The Series winner is awarded the World Series Trophy, as well as individual World Series rings. The Series winner also receives a larger proportion of the gate receipts than does the Series loser.

The New York Yankees, of the American League, have played in 40 of the 105 Series through 2009 and have won 27 World Series championships, the most of any Major League franchise. For the National League, the Dodgers have appeared in the Series the most at 18 times (9 each in Brooklyn and Los Angeles), but have won the Series only 6 times (once as Brooklyn, five times as Los Angeles). The St. Louis Cardinals have represented the National League 17 times and have won 10 championships, which is the most for any National League team. The Chicago Cubs have the longest streak of not winning the World Series, with their last championship coming in 1908.
