How this bracket works
The 1949 World Series was the whole postseason: the two pennant winners met with nothing in between.
Every series above is drawn from the league’s own postseason record: the teams, the order they played in, and the games each side won. The club that hosted Game 1 is on the top line of its matchup, because that is the one piece of seeding the record actually proves.
There were no rounds before the World Series in 1949. The two pennant winners went straight to it, which is why this bracket is a single matchup rather than a tree.
If you are here to settle an argument: the number beside each team is games won, so 4-3 is a seven-game series. A game called as a tie counts as played and is credited to nobody, which is why a handful of early World Series ran longer than their best-of-seven.
