AI Overview

The World Series has occasionally extended beyond seven games due to ties or historical best-of-nine formats: [1]

• Ties (e.g., 1912): In the 1912 World Series between the Boston Red Sox and New York Giants, Game 2 ended in a 5–6 darkness-induced tie after 11 innings. Because official rules at the time treated ties as replayed games rather than counting in the final tally, an extra game was needed, resulting in an 8-game series (Boston won 4–3 with one tie). [1]
• Best-of-Nine Eras (1903, 1919–1921):
  • The inaugural modern World Series in 1903 between the Boston Red Sox and Pittsburgh Pirates was played as a best-of-nine format, where Boston won the series in 8 games (5–3).
  • The best-of-nine format was briefly brought back from 1919 through 1921, though none of those specific series actually needed to go past 8 games (the 1919 Black Sox scandal series went 8 games, while 1920 and 1921 each ended in 5-out-of-9 or 5-game decisions). [1, 2]

Since 1922, Major League Baseball permanently standardized the World Series as a best-of-seven format requiring four wins, meaning a maximum of seven games can be played
