What About 2025?
According to Sports Crease, The 2025 World Series champion is the Los Angeles Dodgers. They defeated the New York Yankees to claim their eighth championship in franchise history and third in the past six years.
Why Was There No World Series in 1904 or 1994?
Two years had no World Series:
- 1904: The New York Giants, who won the National League, refused to play the American League champion Boston Americans. Giants owner John Brush didn’t recognize the AL as a legitimate major league. The following year, the World Series became an official annual event.
- 1994: A players’ strike that began in August canceled the postseason entirely. The strike lasted 232 days and didn’t end until April 1995.
How has the World Series Format Has Changed?
The World Series has been a best-of-seven series since 1922 (with a few exceptions).
Before that:
- 1903: Best-of-nine
- 1919-1921: Best-of-nine
- 1905-1918, 1920: Best-of-seven
The modern best-of-seven format is now standard.
