List of World Series champions

 * Nominator(s): Staxringold talkcontribs, Scorpion 0422 

Assuming the nomination below for Major League Baseball Most Valuable Player Award passes, this list will be the final piece in a now 4-month project of WP:MLB to create a featured topic for MLB Awards. The list has been touched up by several experienced editors, and I think this last piece is ready! Staxringold talkcontribs 03:46, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Added note: KV5 just reminded me, Scorpion0422 deserves major credit on this list as well! He really put a lot of work in before I finished this baby up. I'll leave a note on his talk page, but he deserves some of this FL credit regardless.
 * Also added note: This project has actually been ongoing since March 2009 :-p. KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 13:52, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, but little did you know what you were starting. :) Staxringold talkcontribs 15:30, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, I did; this was an unspoken goal at the beginning. I just wasn't counting on so much valuable help. KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 16:56, 17 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Support &mdash; Cheers, and hats off to the (hopeful) FT! KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 17:34, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

This is one of those lists that I started working on, but never got around to finishing it off. Why were the references from the MLB website replaced? I know third party sources are usually considered better than official sources, but I thought that in this case, it was acceptable. I can't say that I like the colour coding (though it has since been removed). Is it worth mentioning that the Blue Jays are the only team from outside the States to appear in/win a World Series? Should there be some mention of the pre-Official World Series champions? -- Scorpion 0422  19:06, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I replaced the MLB references because they had far less information about the series', and MLB.com had a couple different formats for the links which left me worried that they would migrate and kill off some of the links. I can add the Blue Jays note, that's a solid point. As for pre-WS champs, I dunno. There is a disambig to them at the top. Staxringold talkcontribs 19:11, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Support – Excellent job with a list I've been hoping would come here for a while (please note that I did add a reference, in case the closers consider me an involved party at this point).  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 22:16, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Support Pretty solid job, I can't find anything to pick out of it. Afro  ( Not a Talk Page ) - Afkatk 07:23, 17 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment In the appearances by team column, why is the Win % column right aligned when everything else is center aligned? Dabomb87 (talk) 23:33, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
 * No reason, fixed. Staxringold talkcontribs 01:03, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
