Red Sox vs Cardinals World Series Notes
The 2013 Worlds Series combatants, the Red Sox and the Cardinals, have an interesting history playing against each there for the title.
Their first World Series matchup was in 1946, and they played again in 1967. The Cards won both of those World Series in the maximum seven games.
Bob Gibson won three games for St.Louis including the decisive seventh game in 1967.
Twice in the past ten seasons the Red Sox have defeated the Cardinals in World Series that did not go the limit.
In 2004, Boston ended an 86 year championship drought by sweeping the Redbirds in 4 straight games. Last year, Boston won the title with a six game World Series victory.
There are serious odds against a Red Sox/Cards redux this season. The last time there was a World Series repeat clash was 1977 and 1978. In both those World Series, the New York Yankees defeated the L.A. Dodgers in six games.
