" If the Colorado Rockies defeat the Boston Red Sox, they will be the eighth champions in eight years, which would be the second-longest such streak in history, surpassing the seven years from 1966 to 1972."

Sorry, Tim, that's not true. You could have added the '65 Dodgers and said that would have been eight different champions in eight different years between 1965 and 1972 to make a more compelling case and added one year to have tied the record, except the Baltimore Orioles won the World Series in 1966 and 1970.
