We have played 12 replay seasons and so far the Phillies have won the most pennants/series, remember in the 1800's they did not play World Series'.
The Phillies, then the Quakers won the first pennant back in 1893 and then won it again in 1899. Their World Series win was in 1915. The Cubs have won
two series in 1906 and again in 1910, they also lost in 1919 on their third trip to the series. Three clubs have been to the series twice and have a
one loss one win record, the New York Giants, the Cleveland Naps, and the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Boston Americans and later the Red Sox have
been to three series with a record of 1-2. The Athletics of Philadelphia have been there twice only to loose both times in back to back seasons
1910 and 1911 to Chicago and New York. The New York Yankees have only been in the series once but they did defeat the Cubs in our last
golden era series versus the Yankees. The Baltimore Orioles of the old national league did win two pennants in 1895 and again in 1897.
No one has won the World Series MVP twice but Joe Kelley of the Baltimore has won two pennant winning MVP awards in 1895 and 1897. Half of our 8
World Series have gone the full seven games, the other half were either determined in 5 or 6 games.
