The World Series games are the last stage in Major League Baseball (MLB). Also known as the finals, the last two teams of every season compete to become the MLB World Series Champions for the season. These teams generally start the season with the regular season games in which they compare to become division champions and qualify for the Wild Card games in the postseason.
Following the Wild Card games, the teams that advance play in the Division Series games and then the League Championship Series games. Finally, they play the World Series games. The New York Yankees have been crowned champions the most times - 27. Other teams like the Texas Rangers earned their first World Series game in 2023. Several other teams have also had their share of World Series title wins while the remaining sides are yet to become World Series Champions in MLB.
