30 greatest World Series in MLB history

The World Series has provided some of the most memorable moments in all of sports. Here is a look at the 30 greatest Fall Classics in MLB history.

What makes the sport of baseball so great is not the excitement of the home run bomb, the gracefulness of an acrobatic defensive play or the awe that accompanies a dazzling pitching performance. Baseball’s greatness lies in its limitless storylines.

The concept of extra innings provides endless possibilities for a comeback. In a sport where statistics are revered, individual, collective and historical greatness is celebrated. And to fans of some teams, there are curses that feel way too real to be confined to myth.

There is no greater source of these storylines than the World Series.

It is the pinnacle of the sport, and a point that countless players spend their entire careers attempting to reach. Many fall short, but for the ones that succeed, it is a moment that will forever secure them a spot in baseball history. The Fall Classic provides a distorted view of good versus evil, as teams composed of homegrown talent compete with big market teams that spend upwards of a $100 million in hopes of building a champion.

There is perhaps no more dramatic moment in sports than Game 7 of a World Series, where little known players can transform themselves into postseason legends with a single swing of the bat or a dominant with a pitching display, and all-time greats can produce the highlight of their career.
