The 1942 World Series featured the defending champion New York Yankees against the St. Louis Cardinals, with the Cardinals winning in five games for their first championship since 1934 and their fourth overall.
The 1942 Cardinals set a franchise record for victories with 106. Every Cardinals player, except for Harry Gumbert, was a product of the team's farm system, which had been created by Branch Rickey.
The Yankees won Game 1 despite a Cardinals rally, but the Cardinals swept the rest of the games. The loss was the Yankees' first since the 1926 World Series, also at the hands of the Cardinals. The Yankees had won eight World Series in the interim (a record for most consecutive series won between losses) and had won 32 out of 36 World Series games in that period, including five sweeps (1927 vs. the Pirates, 1928 vs. the Cardinals, 1932 and 1938 vs. the Cubs and 1939 vs. the Reds).
