The World Series is the annual championship series of Major League Baseball (MLB), played between the American League and National League champions since 1903. The winner of the World Series championship is determined through a best-of-seven playoff and awarded the Commissioner's Trophy. As the series is played in October, Major League Baseball also refers to it as the "Fall Classic". The most recent World Series was won by the St. Louis Cardinals, who defeated the Texas Rangers in 7 games in 2011.
The New York Yankees of the American League have played in 40 World Series and won 27, and the Oakland/Philadelphia Athletics have played in 14 and won 9. In the National League, the St. Louis Cardinals have played in 18 and won 11, while the San Francisco/New York Giants and Los Angeles/Brooklyn Dodgers have both appeared in 18 and won 6.
Until the formation of the American Association in 1882 as a second major league, the National Association of Professional Base Ball Players (1871–75) and then the National League (founded 1876) represented the top level of organized baseball in the United States. All championships went to whoever had the best record at the end of the season, without a postseason series being played. Starting in 1884 and going through 1890, the National League and the American Association faced each other in a series of games at the end of the season to determine an overall champion. These matchups were disorganized in comparison to the modern Series: games played ranged from as few as three in 1884 (Providence defeated New York 3 games to zero), to a high of 15 in 1887 (Detroit beat St. Louis 10 games to 5), and both the 1885 and 1890 Series ended in ties, each team having won three games with one tie game.
The sun and the moon have burned each other out to soon.
So sell me some doom,
because I’m the only eyes wide open in the room.
Undress the truth so I can have the feeling that it has
been used.
Alone you sit.
Your heart bleeds quiet.
You seem afraid.
Loose lips sink ships!
You have no grip.
Don't you know, you're gonna die die die all alone.
The look on your face has been making me lose sleep for
days.
Asleep in the haze in the middle of where everything is
gray.
The games that we play are gonna be the death of us
someway... somehow.
And I've been told about how the dawning of the hours is
finally here.
I could sing out loud if only the mighty and proud would
all just disappear.
Did someone open an undertow?
Or is this drowning feeling typical?
It isn't really who you know.
Its how blatantly artistic your completely hypocritical.
Don't you know you're gonna die die die all alone.
Let this fire cover your vision for disintegration is a
gift
