1994 World Series - Overview

Overview

The Montreal Expos of the National League, at 74–40, and the New York Yankees of the American League, at 70–43, held the best records in their leagues at season's end. Both the Yankees and Expos had last participated in the playoffs during 1981, when a players' strike resulted in a split season, with the division leaders at the time of the strike, which included the Yankees, facing the division leaders of the second half of the season. The Expos lost the 1981 National League Championship Series to the Los Angeles Dodgers, who defeated the Yankees in the World Series.
