The 1972 World Series was the championship series of Major League Baseball's (MLB) 1972 season. The 69th edition of the World Series, it was a best-of-seven playoff between the American League champion Oakland Athletics and the National League champion Cincinnati Reds. The Athletics won in seven games for their sixth World Series championship .[1][2][3] It was the first World Series championship for the Athletics since 1930.
This was the first World Series in which both teams wore pullover uniforms, a style that remained the norm until 1982, after which at least one team in the fall classic would wear them until 1990, when the Cincinnati Reds wore them. Coincidentally both this World Series and the 1990 World Series featured the same two teams, the Athletics and the Reds, both far different results. The A's won this one in a hard fought seven games, while the Reds swept the defending champion A's in four games in 1990.
