How this bracket works
In 1987 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 85th 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.
Questions people ask
Who won the 1987 World Series?
Minnesota Twins won it in 7 games, beating the St. Louis Cardinals. The series score and every round that led to it are on the bracket above, and it prints on one page.
Can I print the 1987 World Series bracket?
Yes, and it is free. Press "Print this bracket": the bracket prints landscape on a single page with no navigation and no browser header, because the page margin is set to zero. No account, no watermark.
What were the scores of every 1987 postseason game?
Every game is listed under the bracket, series by series, in the order it was played, with both scores and the home team second. It prints with the bracket by default, on a fresh page after it, and the "Every game" switch turns it off if you want the bracket on its own.
What was the playoff format in 1987?
1987 ran a League Championship Series in each league and then the World Series. The Division Series did not exist until 1995.
