Odd Year World Series notes

Last year’s World Series was the 57th contested in an odd year. No World Series has been missed in an odd year while 90 years apart in even years, 1904 and 1994 no World Series was played.

The American League has a (33-24) record in odd year World Series.

The league has the two biggest winning streaks in odd years, including one of all 10 odd year World Series played from (1935-1953).

Of course the New York Yankees’ dominance was a big part of that skein and the overall American League success.

The other two American League World Series victories in that span were by the Detroit Tigers with Hank Greenberg on both teams, ten years apart in 1935 and 1945.
