MLB World Series Winners List

MLB World Series Winners

The MLB World Series, the annual championship series of Major League Baseball, pits the winners of the American League and National League against each other in a best-of-seven playoff.

Since its inception in 1903, the World Series has been the apex of baseball achievement. The New York Yankees hold the record for the most titles, contributing to the intense rivalries and legendary moments that define the series.

Notable highlights include the Yankees’ 27 championships, the St. Louis Cardinals with 11, and the Boston Red Sox’s eight titles.

Moments like the “Curse of the Bambino,” which ended in 2004, and the Chicago Cubs’ 2016 victory, breaking their 108-year drought, are etched in history.

Each October, the World Series captivates fans with dramatic showdowns and historic performances.
