1982 World Series

The 1982 World Series was the championship series of Major League Baseball's 1982 season. The 79th edition of the World Series, it was a best-of-seven playoff played between the National League champion St. Louis Cardinals and the American League champion Milwaukee Brewers. The Cardinals defeated the Brewers in seven games to win their first championship since 1967, and their ninth overall. The Cardinals had last been in the World Series in 1968, while a Milwaukee team, the Braves, had last contended in 1958. The Milwaukee team of 1982 started as an expansion club, the Seattle Pilots, in 1969, which then moved to Milwaukee in 1970 and changed their name to the Brewers. The Cardinals made it to the Series by winning the NL East division by three games over the Philadelphia Phillies, and then defeating the Atlanta Braves, three games to none, in the NL Championship Series.
