bullet::::9. the cincinnati reds were the only national league team to sweep any world series between 1963 and 2012, sweeping their last two series appearances to date in 1976 and 1990. when added to their game 7 victory in 1975, this means that the reds have won their last 9 consecutive world series games, the longest active winning streak in terms of consecutive world series games won. the reds are also to date the only team since the inception of the league championship series (lcs) in 1969 to sweep the entire postseason. the 1976 "big red machine" swept the philadelphia phillies in the national league lcs in three games, and then swept the new york yankees in the world series in four games. the longest ever streak of consecutive world series games won is 14 by the new york yankees, who won four straight games to win the 1996 world series after losing the first two games of that series, then swept their next two world series appearances in 1998 and 1999, and then won the first two games of the 2000 world series before losing the third game of that series to the new york mets.

bullet::::- locally, dave wills, andy freed, dewayne staats and joe magrane called the series in english for the rays on whnz-am in tampa, with ricardo tavaras and enrique oliu working the spanish broadcast on st. petersburg's wges-am. harry kalas, scott franzke, larry andersen, and chris wheeler called the phillies' english broadcasts on wpht-am in philadelphia, with spanish announcers danny martinez, bill kulik and juan ramos on wuba. following their contractual obligations, the non-flagship stations on the teams' radio networks carried the espn radio broadcasts. mlb.com also carried the local radio broadcasts for online streaming, while xm satellite radio aired the local and national feeds to its subscribers. for harry kalas, this series brought together a father and son calling the series for different teams, with his son, todd, calling the series in english for the rays. this world series win had significance for fox's tim mccarver and harry kalas. both were phillies broadcasters in , but neither one could call the final out. mccarver was a backup commentator for "game of the week" on nbc, but he was not part of the broadcast team that called the final out. for kalas, mlb radio-broadcasting regulations forbade local stations from producing live coverage of world series games, instead forcing them to air the national cbs radio feed of the games. philadelphia fans were so outraged about this afterward that they started a letter-writing campaign to the commissioner's office, demanding a change to the rule. the following year, mlb amended its broadcasting contracts to allow world series teams' flagship radio stations to air the games with local announcers, due at least in part to this outcry from philadelphia fans. in 2008, both called the phillies' world series win.
