How this bracket works
In 1979 the postseason was two League Championship Series and the World Series.
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.
Printed landscape on one sheet, with the American League on the left and the National League on the right. The 77th World Series sits in the middle.
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.
