Welcome to MLB Classic Rewind

Story Photo
Carlos Pena (of the 2007 Boston Red Sox) was the latest World Series MVP in Classic Rewind
Welcome to MLB Classic Rewind: 2008
A rather straight forward historical league using real progression. The league started with the 1973 season and 24 teams. We'll stay at 24 teams, meaning that the Blue Jays and Mariners won't exist. Neither will the Rockies, D'Backs, Rays, or Marlins. All players who became rookies with those teams will instead go into the draft and be drafted by other teams. For example, Ichiro joined the league in the 2001 season and was drafted by the Phillies.

We are now in our 36th season. Cincinnati won the first two championships, while the Boston Red Sox won the latest, in the 2007 season.

Here's a list of our Classic Rewind World Series winners so far, with number of WS titles in brackets:

Cincinnati Reds - 5
Boston Red Sox - 4
Minnesota Twins - 4
Pittsburgh Pirates - 3
Cleveland Indians - 3
Milwaukee Brewers - 3
Baltimore Orioles - 2
Los Angeles Dodgers - 2
New York Mets - 2
Atlanta Braves - 2
Detroit Tigers - 1
St. Louis Cardinals - 1
San Francisco Giants - 1
Montreal Expos - 1
Texas Rangers - 1
