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.

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or series:
“You should go to picture-galleries and museums of sculpture to be acted upon, and not to express or try to form your own perfectly futile opinion. It makes no difference to you or the world what you may think of any work of art. That is not the question; the point is how it affects you. The picture is the judge of your capacity, not you of its excellence; the world has long ago passed its judgment upon it, and now it is for the work to estimate you.”
—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)
“A sophistical rhetorician, inebriated with the exuberance of his own verbosity, and gifted with an egotistical imagination that can at all times command an interminable and inconsistent series of arguments to malign an opponent and to glorify himself.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
