How many times did an MLB team win the World Series after losing game 1?
Answer
MLB has played 108 World Series.
The team winning Game 1 has gone on to win the title 68 times; the loser of Game 1 has won the title 40 times. (Caveat: we have to allow a bit of wiggle room for 1907, when Game 1 ended in a tie. The Cubs won Game 2, and went on to claim the championship, the first of two consecutive.)
Not gonna list all 40, but here's the last ten times the G1 losing team hoisted the trophy:
2009 Yankees
2002 Angels
1996 Yankees
1993 Blue Jays
1986 Mets
1985 Royals
1983 Orioles
1982 Cardinals
1981 Dodgers
1979 Pirates

9 game world series?

Did anyone here about this idea?
I saw it on ESPN, do you think that a 9 game world series is a good idea, or just too long?
Answer
7 games is plenty to decide who the better team is. The reason why they want 9 games is to play 2 on a neutral site and make some more money. I think its a dumb idea the 2 extra games are going to be meaningless cause its the start of the series. I bet more people tune in to game 7 (when the series goes that far) than any other game in the series. They want to rival the Super Bowl hype but the reason why the Super Bowl is so big is because its 1 game winner take all. I think baseball's championship is just fine the way it is without money hungry entrepenuers looking to make yet another extra buck.
