The Yankees won both years 1998 and 1999.  I assume your asking for baseball, since the question is in the baseball forum.

I predict that the 2006 World Series will be a Crosstown World Series between the Chicago White Sox and the Chicago Cubs and a rematch of the 1906 World Series but this time the Cubs will win the World Series and I see them winning in 6 games.

1968. Denny McClain won 31 games. He was "the ace" of our staff. He was supposed to kick butt, but it was actually Mickey Lolich who won 3 games in the WORLD Series.\n\nHe even hit a homerun in that series (although I dont remember what game, or off who).

International impact, and explanation of the term "World" Series\n\nThe title of this championship is confusing to some international readers, because the World Series is confined to the champions of two baseball leagues that currently operate only in the United States and Canada.\n\nThe explanation is that when the term "World's Championship Series" was first used in the 1880s, baseball was almost exclusively confined to North America, especially at a highly skilled (and paid) level. Thus it was understood that the winner of the major league championship was the best baseball team in the world. The title of this event was soon shortened to "World's Series" and later to "World Series".\n\nThe United States continued to be the zenith of professional baseball some decades into the 20th Century. The first Japanese professional baseball efforts began in 1920. The current Japanese leagues date from the late 1940s. Various Latin American leagues also formed around that time.\n\nBy the 1990s, baseball was played at a highly skilled level in many countries, resulting in a strong international flavor to the Series, as many of the best players from the Pacific Rim, Latin America, the Caribbean, and elsewhere now play on Major League rosters. The notable exception is Cuban nationals, due to the political situation between the USA and Cuba (despite that barrier, over the years a number of Cuba's finest ballplayers have defected to the United States to play in the American professional leagues). Players from the Japanese Leagues also have a more difficult time coming to the Major Leagues because they must first play 10 years in Japan before becoming free agents.\n\nEarly in 2006, Major League Baseball conducted the inaugural World Baseball Classic, to establish a "true" world's championship in the way the term is normally used for other international sports. Teams of professional players from 16 nations participated, and Japan won the first World Baseball Classic championship. Olympic baseball was instituted as a medal sport in 1992, but in 2005 the International Olympic Committee voted to eliminate baseball, and it will be off the Olympic program in 2012.\n\nThe World Series itself retains a US-oriented atmosphere. The title of the event is often presented on television as merely a "brand name" in the same sense as the "Super Bowl", and thus the term "World Series Championship" is sometimes used. However, the origin of the term lives on, as with these words of Frank Thomas in the Chicago White Sox victory celebration in 2005: "We're world's champions, baby!" At the close of the 2006 Series, Commissioner Bud Selig pronounced the St. Louis Cardinals "champions of the world". Likewise, the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine for November 6, 2006, features Series MVP David Eckstein and is subtitled "World Champions".\n\nA recent myth has arisen that the "World" in "World Series" came about because the New York World newspaper sponsored it. There is no evidence at all supporting that hypothesis.

Whitey Ford - "The Yankees won 11 pennants in Ford's years with them. He ranks first all-time in WS wins (10), losses (8), games and games started (22), innings pitched, hits, bases on balls, and strikeouts. In the 1960, '61, and '62 Series, he pitched 33 consecutive scorelesss innings, breaking Babe Ruth's WS record of 29-2/3."\n\nI would also vote for (in no particular order): Sandy Koufax, Bob Gibson, Christy Mathewson, and Mariano Riveria.

The 1936 World Series matched the New York Yankees against the New York Giants, with the Yankees winning in six games to earn their fifth championship.\n\nCarl Hubbell won Game 1 but it was all downhill after that. The Yankees won Game 2 at the Polo Grounds by an 18-4 count, a Series record for lopsided scoring. Joe DiMaggio made all three 9th inning outs in that game, the final a long fly that he snared and then kept running all the way up the clubhouse steps.\n\nAL New York Yankees (4) vs. NL New York Giants (3)\n\nGame Score Date Location Attendance \n1 Yankees – 1, Giants – 6 September 30 Polo Grounds 39,419 \n2 Yankees – 18, Giants – 4 October 2 Polo Grounds 43,543 \n3 Giants – 1, Yankees – 2 October 3 Yankee Stadium 64,482 \n4 Giants – 2, Yankees – 5 October 4 Yankee Stadium 66,669 \n5 Giants – 5, Yankees – 4 (10 innings) October 5 Yankee Stadium 50,024 \n6 Yankees – 13, Giants – 5 October 6 Polo Grounds 38,427

Well, I agree with the playoff teams, but I don't see either of those teams in the "World" Series. It's a rematch of the 1968 "World" Series. St. Louis Cardinals and Detroit Tigers.

Game 3 of the 1984 World Series. I was 7 years old. My dad took me. The Tigers won, and it was crazy. I have been hooked as a Tiger fan ever since.
