1985 World Series

The 1985 World Series, also called the I-70 Series, pitted the National League champion St. Louis Cardinals against the American League champion Kansas City Royals. Interstate 70, which crosses Missouri and links the two cities together, inspired the nickname for this year's Major League Baseball championship.

Although the Royals lost the first two games at home, they overcame their poor start and became World Series champions for the first time, thanks in particular to Series MVP Bret Saberhagen and his victories in games 3 and 7.
