What was the 2nd longest (days) World Series? :-D

1888 World Series (6-4): New York Giants (84-47) over St. Louis Browns (92-43)
I believe that is second not positive.

Huh?

They didn't have a World Series then. What was the 2nd longest World Series in terms of days taking to complete it? :-?

Although the "Fall Classic" as we know it didn't begin until 1903, major-league baseball had several versions of a post-season championship series before that. In 1884, the Providence Grays of the National League outplayed the New York Metropolitan Club of the American Association in a 3 game series for what was originally called "The Championship of the United States."

I'm lookin' for the modern day World Series as we know it today. :-)
