The Braves have both won and lost a World Series in three home cities: Boston, Milwaukee, and Atlanta.

The 1994 World Series was canceled on September 14 of that year due to an ongoing strike by the Major League Baseball Players Association, which had begun on August 12. It was only the second time in the event's history that the Fall Classic was not played.

In 1979, Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Willie Stargell, nicknamed "Pops", won the award at the age of 39 years and 225 days.

In Game 5 of the 1920 series, Elmer Smith hit a grand slam and Jim Bagby also homered as the Indians took the lead in games three to two.

The 2016 World Series was the last to have home-field advantage determined by the All-Star Game results; since 2017, home-field advantage is awarded to the team with the better record.

Wagner hit a single in the top of the first inning of the 1903 series, scoring Tommy Leach to give the Pittsburgh Pirates a 1-0 lead over the Boston Americans.

In Game 7, with the Yankees trailing 3-2 in the bottom of the ninth, Babe Ruth tried to steal second. To date, the 1926 World Series is the only Series which ended with a baserunner being caught stealing.

Mickey Mantle retired with a record 18 World Series home runs. Ruth hit 15. Berra hit 12. DiMaggio hit 8.

In the 1960 Series, New York Yankees second baseman Bobby Richardson was named Most Valuable Player after hitting .367 with 12 RBIs, becoming the first and only MVP to play for the losing team.

The Giants won in 1921 & 1922 and lost in 1923 & 1924.
