“3” Year World Series Notes

Twelve “3” Year World Series have been contested to this point, with a thirteenth, upcoming in October.

As one might expect, the Yankees lead the “3” year title “parade” with three such crowns (1923,1943 and 1953).

Next the Athletics, who certainly will not win a crown this year and appear headed out of Oakland, where they won the 1973 title with a #7 win, and Red Sox each have two.

As Philadelphia, the Athletics triumphed in 1913 while the Red Sox franchise triumphed in the first A.L. vs N.L. World Series in 1903 (see my post about Burt Mustin’s memories of that event below) and again 110 years later in 2013.

The Giants (as New York in 1933), Dodgers in 1963, Orioles (a true surprise with a (54-35) record at the “break”), in 1983, Blue Jays, (clinching on Joe Carter’s 3rhr in 1993) and Marlins (2-0) in World Series play in 2003), have one such crown apiece.
