Have you gotten your tickets for the 104th edition of Major League Baseball’s championship series, the 2008 World Series? The best-of-seven playoff will be played between the champions of the National League and the American League. The overall champion will be decided on Wednesday, October 22, 2008. The question is, will there be a game 7, if so it will take place on Thursday, October 30.

The World Series is played, postseason, each October between the championships of National League and the American League. Many years ago, the World Series was dubbed the “Fall Classic” by the media and it is sometimes known as the “October Classic” or simply “The Series”. It has been an annual event since 1903, with the exceptions of 1904 in 1994. Seven games are played and the a team that wins the most out of that 7 is the World Series champion. Except in the years 1903, 1919, 1920 and 1921 when 9 games were played.

Just like the Super Bowl 2009 winners, the 2008 World Series winners will receive a trophy and the players will receive rings. They also give a larger portion of the receipts from the gate and the losers do.

The New York Yankees in the American League hold the record for most games played, 39, and the most games won, 26, of the World Series championships. They Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers of the National League hold the current record for the most games played, 18, I have only one 6 championships. The St. Louis Cardinals hold the record for the most games one, 10, with their record of playing in the series at 17.
