This was the only World Series played between 19 not to feature a New York team, and the last not won by a New York team until the 1957 Series (which the Braves, having relocated to Milwaukee, won over the Yankees). Games played in Boston could only be seen in the Northeast, while when the series shifted to Cleveland those games were the first to be aired in Chicago, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, St. Television coverage of the World Series increased this year, but due to the medium still being in its infancy coverage was strictly regional.
Currently, this phenomenon can only be repeated if the Miami Marlins, the Washington Nationals or the Arizona Diamondbacks play against either the Toronto Blue Jays or the Los Angeles Angels in a future World Series. Consequently, this was the first, and to date only, World Series in which both participating teams had previously played in, but not yet lost, a previous World Series. This was the second appearance in the Fall Classic for both teams, with the Indians' lone previous appearance coming in a 1920 win against the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Braves' lone previous appearance coming in a 1914 win against the Philadelphia Athletics. It was the first World Series to be televised beyond the previous year's limited New York-Schenectady-Philadelphia-Baltimore-Washington network and was announced by famed sportcasters Red Barber, Tom Hussey (in Boston) and Van Patrick (in Cleveland). Though superstar pitcher Bob Feller failed to win either of his two starts, the Indians won the Series in six games to capture their second championship (as well as their most recent) and their first since 1920. The Braves had won the National League pennant for the first time since the "Miracle Braves" team of 1914, while the Indians had spoiled a chance for the only all-Boston World Series by winning a one-game playoff against the Boston Red Sox for the American League flag. The 45th edition of the World Series, it matched the American League (AL) champion Cleveland Indians and the National League (NL) champion Boston Braves. The 1948 World Series was the championship series in Major League Baseball for the 1948 season.

Previously, Lester's teams had been 0-2 in elimination games in which he started - the 2014 Athletics and the 2008 Red Sox. Yet, unbelievably, Game 5 marked the first time Lester had won an elimination game. Lester then became the first National League starter to strike out the first three batters in a World Series game since John Smoltz in 1996, per the Fox broadcast. Those numbers made him one of the better postseason performers of his generation. He entered Sunday's game with a career 2.60 ERA and 3.60 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 20 career playoff appearances (18 of which were starts). Speaking of Lester, he only added to his postseason mystique. Lester retains, improves big-game reputation Give Maddon credit for being aggressive with his closer, just realize this could've gone left before Chapman entered. didn't give up the lead Chapman was highly effective and so on - but it was questionable managing to allow anyone but Lester or Chapman to throw a pitch in this game.
