Wikipedia - "The 1908 World Series matched the defending champion Chicago Cubs against the Detroit Tigers in a rematch of the 1907 Series. In this first-ever rematch of this young event, the Cubs won in five games for their second consecutive title. The 1908 World Series is significant for being the last World Championship the Cubs have won to date. The Cubs would go on to appear in seven World Series in the years 1910, 1918, 1929, 1932, 1935, 1938, and 1945, losing each time. The Cubs had one of baseball's most dominant teams in the early 1900s. This was the year of the infamous 'Merkle's Boner' play that allowed the Chicago Cubs to reach the World Series after beating the New York Giants in a one-game 'playoff', actually the makeup game for the tie that the Merkle play had caused."
