On consecutive nights we see world series games end on an obstruction call and a pick off, which had never ended a prior world series game since it began in 1903. Next we'll have Game 5 end on a balk, Game 6 end on catcher's interference and Game 7 end on an appeal play after a sac fly.

Only one world series game in history ended on a runner attempting to steal second base, and it was Game 7, which decided the 1926 World Series. Losing 3-2 wit h 2 out in the bottom of the ninth, a Yankee, known for being a bit overaggressive on the base paths drew a walk on a 3-2 pitch. with Bob Meusel, the potential winning run at the plate, the runner took off for second and was thrown out easily by the cardinal catcher. The baserunner was none other than Babe Ruth.
