The first World Series was held in 1903. In 2024, the Los Angeles Dodgers triumphed over the New York Yankees to win the World Series. Freddie Freeman was named series MVP. In 2025, the Dodgers made their way back to MLB's biggest stage versus the Toronto Blue Jays.
The first Commissioner’s Trophy (awarded to the winner of the World Series) was created and presented in 1967, when the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Boston Red Sox. It reportedly cost around $2,500, which would be more than $20,000 today.
The Braves won just 88 regular season games, but remember that they had to play a huge chunk of the season without Ronald Acuna Jr. Acuna, in just 82 games, put up 3.5 wins above replacement while batting .283/.394/.596 with 24 home runs, 17 steals and 44 extra-base hits overall. Not having a full season of that guy will bring any team’s wins down.
