There have been 21 sweeps in World Series history, and the Milwaukee Brewers could add another tonight against the Tampa Bay Rays. A sweep would mark the Brewers' first championship and make them only the second team to sweep both the LCS and World Series, joining the 1976 Cincinnati Reds. The American League leads with 13 sweeps, including eight by the New York Yankees.

The National League has eight, with three from the New York/San Francisco Giants and two from the Cincinnati Reds. The full list of World Series sweeps spans from 1907 to 2012, featuring legendary matchups and dominant performances.
