Explained simply
The World Series is Major League Baseball’s championship series, played between the winners of the American and National leagues. Teams meet in a best-of-seven series, and the first to win four games becomes champion.
The Milwaukee Brewers represent Wisconsin, while the Tampa Bay Rays are based in Florida. Milwaukee had reached the World Series once before, in 1982, but had never won the title.
The result marks the end of a 44-year wait for the Brewers and gives the franchise its first championship. Their regular-season record was the best in MLB, achieved with a payroll below that of most teams.
