1) The World Series started in 1903.

3) The New York Yankees have the most wins in the World Series.
4) The New York Yankees have the most losses in the World Series.

6) The Braves Organization is the only team that has one the World Series under three different cities: Boston, Milwaukee, Atlanta.
