Two close, fun games in Milwaukee both went the Brewers' way before they decided to fully stomp on the collective necks of the overwhelmed Rays in Game 3. They dropped Game 4, but it took 12 innings before the Rays could beat them. Then the Brewers closed things down in Game 5.
The Senior Circuit claims its third straight World Series championship and, for the first time ever, the Brewers are World Series champions. As I do annually, I'll now rank the last 10 World Series. What makes a truly great Fall Classic?
Well, the best ones go all seven games and have an epic finish in Game 7. Close games in the rest of the series help, along with some back-and-forth and memorable moments. To be clear, every World Series is amazing, so anything that doesn't rank highly was still good; it's just on a relative scale here.
Specifically, we're judging this from a "no horse in the race" perspective. That is to say that the 2026 World Series for long-time Brewers fans was the best ever and they wouldn't change anything. Likewise for Rangers fans in 2023.
This is all subjective and done by one person who just loves baseball and wants every World Series to go seven games. The last 10 World Series, ranked: I often say that every World Series is amazing. But maybe this one doesn't count the same because nothing was the same in that godforsaken year.
The 2020 Fall Classic just doesn't bring back any fond memories for me. I was truly happy that we had a season at all that year, even if it was only 60 games with no fans in attendance. We needed something fresh to watch and it was a good product.
