Beginning in 1903, 110 World Series champions have been determined. The World Series is the annual championship series of Major League Baseball (MLB) and concludes the MLB postseason. The championship is determined through a best-of-seven playoff and is a contest between the champions of baseball's National League (NL) and American League (AL). The Series-winning team is awarded the Commissioner's Trophy. In the 110 World Series through 2014, the AL champion has won 63 and the NL champion has won 47. The New York Yankees of the AL have played in 40 of the 110 Series and have won 27 championships, the most Series appearances and victories of any Major League franchise. The Yankees have also lost more Series (13) than any other club. The St. Louis Cardinals, who represented the NL for a 19th time in 2013, have won 11 championships, which is the second-most among Major League teams. Only the Giants have been NL champions more times, appearing in 20 World Series with eight victories, including one in the 2014 Series.
