When it comes to sports trivia, it’s hard to beat baseball. And there’s no event in baseball that fans love to talk about more than the World Series. Here we take a look at 6 World Series trivia facts that only the biggest baseball fans will know. So stick around and test your knowledge of the history of the World Series to see how you stack up against your family and friends! 

1. Who are the Current World Champions?

Millions of people watch the World Series every single year, but that doesn’t mean they remember what team won the most recent series. In this case, the reigning 2021 World Champions happen to be the Atlanta Braves from Atlanta, Georgia.

2. Who Holds the Record for Most Championships?

Do you know which MLB team holds the record for the most World Championships? Even a new baseball fan should be able to guess the name of this team without much trouble. But for those who need a little help, the answer is: The New York Yankees.

Believe it or not, the Yankees have appeared in 40 championship series, winning an astounding 27 times.

3. How Many Teams Have Won the World Series?

Now let’s look at how many teams have won the World Series.

Drumroll, please: a total of 117 World Series have been played, with the AL winning 66 and the NL winning 51. This statistic includes the current champs, the Atlanta Braves.

4. What Pitcher Has the Most Strikeouts in a Single Game?

Here’s the toughest trivia question so far: what pitcher holds the record for the most strikeouts in the World Series, and what year did he achieve it? The answer: Bob Gibson of the St. Louis Cardinals struck out 17 Detroit Tigers on October 2nd, 1968.

That means his record has now stood for 54 years.

5. What was the First World Series Ever Played?

The answer to our next trivia question is perhaps the least-known among baseball facts. The first World Series game was played on December 28, 1902. But it wasn’t a baseball game. It was actually a professional football game.

6. Who Is the Only Player With Three MVP Titles?

This is the toughest question on our list. What player has won 3 World Series MVP rewards, and in what years did he win them? No one!

Reggie Jackson and Sandy Koufax each won the World Series MVP title twice, but no MLB player has ever won it 3 times.

The Ultimate World Series Trivia Quiz

It’s no secret why baseball is called America’s Game. That’s because it’s a purely American sport that continues to grow in popularity every year. Fortunately, this guide to some of the toughest World Series trivia questions will help take your enjoyment of the game to the next level.

5 Wimbledon Facts That Might Surprise You

Did you know that almost 900 thousand people watched Wimbledon on average in 2019? The tennis championship is popular for people to view on television or even in person.

Have you ever wanted to learn more about Wimbledon history and other details? Here are some Wimbledon facts that will give you a great introduction to the prestigious sports competition.

1. It’s The World’s Oldest Tennis Tournament

The first Wimbledon tournament occurred in 1877, meaning the competition is almost 150 years old. However, unlike today’s professionals, the 21 tennis players were amateurs.

The All England Lawn Club was founded less than a decade before for croquet. The entrance fee was one pound and one shilling.

2. Wimbledon Uses Grass Courts

When you go to play tennis, you may think of clay or blacktop courts. However, one of the most unique Wimbledon facts is that the courts are made of grass.

On a grass court, the tennis ball is much more likely to have a consistent bounce. However, the ball has less bounce due to the softer material and also goes lower.

Wimbledon stands out from other competitions because it encourages volleying with the grass courts, making the game more engaging for viewers.

3. The Competition is Two Weeks Long

Rather than a single-day event, Wimbledon takes place in a series of games over two weeks. These include men’s and women’s singles and doubles categories as well.

Many people visit local bars and pubs with their friends for drinks and delicious food during their favorite matches. But, by far, the most popular games to view are the championship rounds.

4. Centre Court is the Most Popular

Of course, any court at any tournament gets attention. For Wimbledon, the Center Court is your best bet if you want to see the most action and fanfare.

The top events occur in the Centre Court, including the finals for every category. However, tickets for the Centre Court also have the highest price tag.

5. A Substantial Cash Reward for Winners

One of the biggest draws of Wimbledon is, no doubt, the cash prize. The winner will bank two million pounds in prize money for the championship.

Even if you are a finalist, you can expect to make about half that for making it to the final round.

Think About These Wimbledon Facts

If you want to attend Wimbledon, you should know about these key Wimbledon facts before you go to the tournament. With your knowledge of Wimbledon history, you can have an even more educated viewpoint on all things related to the famous tennis competition.

This is a mixture of soy sauce, sake, ginger, and other flavorings. Our teriyaki sauce is mixed with Captain Morgan to bring you something a little bit different on your wings.
