The All-St. Louis World Series of 1944.

The St. Louis Browns clinched the American League Pennant on the final day of the season (over the Detroit Tigers) and created the first and only all-St. Louis World Series. It would be the first time that all the games of the Series would be played in the same park (Sportman's Park) since 1922 when the Yankee and Giants played at the Polo Grounds (Yankee Stadium wasn't finished until 1923). In spite of having a much stronger tradition of success, the Browns were favored by the St. Louis fans because of their status as major 'underdogs'. Imagine being a kid living in St. Louis during that summer and fall of 1944. The Second World War had turned decidedly in the favor of the Allies. Things were looking up in America. And to top it all off, a World Series with both of your hometown teams! The Cardinals ended up winning 4 games to 2.
