bullet::::9. the cincinnati reds were the only national league team to sweep any world series between 1963 and 2012, sweeping their last two series appearances to date in 1976 and 1990. when added to their game 7 victory in 1975, this means that the reds have won their last 9 consecutive world series games, the longest active winning streak in terms of consecutive world series games won. the reds are also to date the only team since the inception of the league championship series (lcs) in 1969 to sweep the entire postseason. the 1976 "big red machine" swept the philadelphia phillies in the national league lcs in three games, and then swept the new york yankees in the world series in four games. the longest ever streak of consecutive world series games won is 14 by the new york yankees, who won four straight games to win the 1996 world series after losing the first two games of that series, then swept their next two world series appearances in 1998 and 1999, and then won the first two games of the 2000 world series before losing the third game of that series to the new york mets.

landis took full jurisdiction over the world series, as a contest between representatives of the two major leagues. landis was blamed when the umpires called a game on account of darkness with the score tied during the 1922 world series, even though there was still light. landis decided that such decisions in future would be made by himself, moved forward the starting time of world series games in future years, and announced that proceeds from the tied game would be donated to charity. in the 1932 world series, landis ordered that tickets for game one at yankee stadium only be sold as part of strips, forcing fans to purchase tickets for all yankee home games during that series. bad weather and the poor economy resulted in a half-filled stadium, and landis allowed individual game sales for game two. during the 1933 world series, he instituted a rule that only he could throw a player out of a world series game, a rule which followed the ejection of washington senator heinie manush by umpire charley moran. the following year, with the visiting cardinals ahead of the detroit tigers, 9–0 in game seven, he removed cardinal joe medwick from the game for his own safety when medwick, the left fielder, was pelted with fruit by tiger fans after medwick had been involved in a fight with one of the tigers. spink notes that landis would most likely not have done so were the game within reach of the tigers. in the 1938 world series, umpire moran was hit by a wild throw and suffered facial injuries. he was able to continue, but the incident caused landis to order that world series games and all-star games be played with six umpires.
