1983 Triple-A World Series
The three league champions in 1983 were the Tidewater Tides of the International League, the Denver Bears of the American Association, and the Portland Beavers of the Pacific Coast League. Tidewater had defeated the Richmond Braves 3 games to 1 to win their league's championship, the Governors' Cup. Denver defeated the Louisville Redbirds 4 games to 0 to win their league title, and Portland swept the Albuquerque Dukes in 3 games to take the PCL crown.
Held in Louisville, Kentucky, Tidewater ended up winning the tournament and the World Series, with a 3-1 round robin record. With a 2-2 record, Portland finished second, and Denver finished at 1-3 in third place. This format for a post-season champsionship was not repeated, and this was the last time all three leagues faced each other in the same season.

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or series:
“It is impossible to give a clear account of the world, but art can teach us to reproduce it—just as the world reproduces itself in the course of its eternal gyrations. The primordial sea indefatigably repeats the same words and casts up the same astonished beings on the same sea-shore.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“Autobiography is only to be trusted when it reveals something disgraceful. A man who gives a good account of himself is probably lying, since any life when viewed from the inside is simply a series of defeats.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
