However, when the Championship Playoffs Series was named it was back when North America was the only continent with a major baseball league in the world. The winning team of the World Series is awarded the Commissioners Trophy. The Trophy is designed with 30 flags to represent the 30 teams in the league in 1967 the first time the Commissioners Trophy was awarded it was to the Saint Louis Cardinals who defeated the Boston Red Sox.
