2013
bullet::::- october 30 – the boston red sox defeat the st. louis cardinals 6–1 at fenway park and win their eighth world series title and third in the last 10 seasons, to become the first team to win three world championship titles in the 21st century. red sox icon david ortiz earns mvp honors. ortiz becomes the first player since baltimore orioles pitcher jim palmer in the 1983 world series to win three world series rings with the same team and to have never played for the yankees in his career. the last time boston clinched the world series at fenway park was in 1918, a 2–1 victory over the chicago cubs in game 6. the red sox also joined the 1991 minnesota twins as the only teams to win a world series following a last-place finish in the previous season.

bullet::::- the world series was cancelled due to a business rivalry between the two leagues. during spring training, new york giants owner john t. brush said that there will never be a series between two clubs based in the same city, in response to a preseason offer from new york highlanders co-owner frank j. farrell. nevertheless, the boston americans pennant victory over the highlanders had historical significance in several ways. although boston had won instead, brush and team's manager john mcgraw refused to face the americans in what would've been the second world series. brush announced "there is nothing in the constitution or playing rules of the national league which requires its victorious club to submit its championship honors to a contest with a victorious club in a minor league," according to his biography at sabr. the resulting backlash by the press caused brush to take a stance and lead the committee to formalize the rules governing the future world series. this would be the last time that a world series was not played, when it was canceled on september 14 of 1994 due to a mlb players association strike. it would also be the last time for more than a full century that the boston al team, who would later formally become the boston red sox in 1908, would beat the new york al team in the 2018 pennant-deciding game.
