The 1943 World Series matched the defending champion St. Louis Cardinals against the New York Yankees, in a rematch of the 1942 Series. The Yankees won the Series in five games for their 10^th championship in 21 seasons. It was Yankees' manager Joe McCarthy's final Series win.

This Series was scheduled for a 3-4 format due to wartime travel restrictions. The 3-4 format meant there was only one trip between ballparks, but if the Series had ended in a 4-game sweep, there would have been 3 games played in one park and only 1 in the other.

Records: New York Yankees (W: 98, L: 56, Pct: .636, GA: 13 ½) - St Louis Cardinals (W: 105, L: 49, Pct: .682, GA: 18)

Managers: Joe McCarthy (New York), Billy Southworth (St. Louis)

Umpires: Eddie Rommel (AL), Beans Reardon (NL), Joe Rue (AL), Bill Stewart (NL)
Note: Eddie Rommel became the third person to appear in the World Series both as a player and as an umpire.

[edit] Trivia

Howie Pollet, Max Lanier, and Mort Cooper ranked 1-2-3 in the National League in ERA at 1.75, 1.90 and 2.30, respectively.

The only St Louis Cardinals' victory took place during Game 2, the same day as the death of Mort & Walker Cooper's father, Robert.

"Murry Dickson, who helped close the door on the Cardinals in Game 5 by allowing no hits while on the mound, was on a ten (10) day pass from the United States Army!"

The following St Louis Cardinal players, who were on the roster during the 1942 World Series championship, were lost to the armed services: Johnny Beazley, Jimmy Brown, Creepy Crespi, Terry Moore, and Enos Slaughter.

The Yankees suffered losses also as Joe DiMaggio, Phil Rizzuto, Red Ruffing, and Buddy Hassett all marched off into the armed forces and Red Rolfe retired to coach at Dartmouth College.
