Lore & Background
The Boston Braves won the 1914 World Series, defeating the Philadelphia Athletics 4 games to 0.

The franchise had previously appeared in postseason series in the 19th century (e.g., the 1892, 1897, and 1898 Temple Cup), but these are not considered modern World Series, which began in 1903.
