Coming into the World Series, the Orioles had won 14 straight including the final 11 during the regular season then defeated the Minnesota Twins, three games to none, in the American League Championship Series. The Reds went 32-30 in their last 62 regular season games, but swept the Pittsburgh Pirates, three games to none, in the National League Championship Series.

The Orioles would win the Series in 5 games and Orioles third baseman Brooks Robinson would take home the MVP award for his stellar performance both at the plate and in the field.
