World Series Champions

Championship Teams

After coming back from a 3 games to 1 deficit to the Cleveland Indians, the Boston Red Sox swept the Colorado Rockies to win their second championship in four seasons. Mike Lowell was named World Series MVP.

It was also the third World Series sweep in the past four years.

This is a list of all the Temple Cup, Chronicle-Telegraph Cup, and World Series Champions since 1884. Since the inception of the American League into Major League Baseball in 1903, they have won 58 World Series (26 of those by the New York Yankees), while the National League has won 42 times (the St. Louis Cardinals lead the way with 10 victories).
