57 -- World Series titles won by the American League, compared to 40 for the National League.
100 -- Home runs hit by Jim Edmonds since being traded from the Angels to the Cardinals before the 2000 season. One of the players he was traded for, Adam Kennedy, has hit only 22 home runs in that span, but outhomered Edmonds 4-2 in the first two rounds of this postseason.
1915 -- The year Woodrow Wilson became the first sitting president to attend a World Series game. Wilson threw out the first pitch in Game 2 at Philadelphia, where the Phillies were playing host to the eventual champion Red Sox.
1973 -- The last time both World Series managers had participated in the Fall Classic as players -- the A's Dick Williams and the Mets' Yogi Berra. Dusty Baker and Mike Scioscia played in multiple World Series with the Dodgers and were teammates on the 1981 world championship club.
