1918 League Championship Series
Well folks, when you look at the field that’s left, it’s kind of amazing. Out of the four teams still standing, only one of them has ever won a World Series — the St. Louis Cardinals, way back in 1915. That’s three years ago, and they haven’t been back since.
Now, the Texas Rangers, this is their very first trip to the American League Championship Series. They’ve never been this far before, so for them, every game is new territory.
The Chicago White Sox, well, they’ve been to the World Series just once, and that was also in 1915. They ran into those very same Cardinals and lost, so their history is still waiting to be written.
And then you’ve got the Los Angeles Dodgers. They made it all the way to the World Series sixteen years ago, but they came up short against the Baltimore Orioles in 1902. Sixteen years is a long time to wait for another chance, but here they are again.
So when you put it all together, it’s a pretty wide-open race. Only one club has ever gone the distance, and for the others, it’s a chance to do something they’ve never done before.
