How to play the World Series champions timeline

Sort these World Series by the year each one was won. Every card shows the champion over the losing club, with a line underneath about the star or moment that decided it. One Series starts on the timeline with its year showing. Place every new card in a gap among the others. Correct placements reveal the year, and wrong ones still land in the right spot but cost a life from your three.

Plenty of franchises won more than once, so club names alone won't get you far. The line under each card is the real clue: a famous home run, a walk-off, a manager's first ring, an MVP you remember. Rematches and teams that won titles close together are where it gets crowded, so pay attention to who was playing, not just who won.

Want a longer game? On the deck tree you can tick this deck alongside any other one measured in release years and dates, and they shuffle into a single timeline together.
