The World Series places the winners of the American League Championship Series and the National League Championship Series in competition.
The World Series is a best-of-seven game series. The home-field advantage for the World Series goes to the team whose league won the All-Star Game. That team will host games one, two, six, and seven.
In addition to the notoriety of becoming World Series champions, the winning team receives a World Series trophy, and its players receive World Series rings.
