The Yankees swept the Series in 4 games for their second consecutive championship, and their 13th overall.

The WorldSeries is the championship series of Major League Baseball in the United States and Canada, the culmination of the sport's postseason each October.
The Series winner is determined through a best-of-seven playoff (except in 1903, 1919, 1920 and 1921 when the winner was determined through a best-of-nine playoff) and is awarded the WorldSeries Trophy, as well as WorldSeries rings.
One of these series at the end of 1903 was a meeting between the two pennant winners and is known as the 1903WorldSeries.
