1943 World Series
1943 Major League Baseball championship series
The 1943 World Series was the championship series in Major League Baseball for the 1943 season. The 40th edition of the World Series, it matched the defending champion St. Louis Cardinals against the New York Yankees in a rematch of the 1942 World Series. The Yankees won the series in five games for their tenth championship in 21 seasons. It was Yankees manager Joe McCarthy's final World Series win. This series was also the first to have an accompanying World Series highlight film.
This World Series was scheduled for a 3–4 home team format because of World War II travel restrictions. The format meant there was only one trip between ballparks; if the series had ended in a four-game sweep, there would have been three games in one park and only one in the other.
Also due to wartime conditions, both teams' rosters were depleted. Johnny Beazley, Jimmy Brown, Creepy Crespi, Terry Moore and Enos Slaughter were no longer on the Cardinals' roster.

Why this record matters
The phrase “1943 Major League Baseball championship series” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 9, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4565294. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1943 and 1942.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
