Previous world series match-ups?

Question

just for fun...

How many years can you go back and recall which two teams played, and who won the world series. I was able to go back to '87...(I couldn't remember who the twins played!!) And in all honesty, i got two of the mid-ninties series switched around-I think the strike threw me off.lol

You can cheat if you want to, but where is the fun in that?

Please dont put a list of them on here because you will kill the chances for everyone else (although for a free-bee, you could tell me who the twins beat in '87)

Thanks!

Answer 1

I can go back to 1984, since that's the year the Padres played the Tigers and the Cubs blew it...I can remember 1982 since that's the Cards and the Brewers, but I can't remember consistently past 1984.

Answer 2

The 1987 World Series was played between the Minnesota Twins and the St. Louis Cardinals, with both cities located on the banks of the Mississippi River. The Minnesota Twins won 4 games to 3, giving the franchise its first World Series victory since 1924.

Sorry i posted wrong at first lol.

Answer 3

I can go back to about the early 50s.  I know that the Yankees won 5 in a row between 49-53, but I don't know who they beat in what year.  So starting with the 1954 Indians-Giants series I can name them off the top of my head.  For most of them I can also tell you how many games, any historical moments and the MVP.

I can do the same for all 42 Super Bowls as well.
