example of data

This is taken from mlb.com to show what I had to look at for every year the world series was held:


 1903 -- Boston Pilgrims (5) vs. Pittsburgh Pirates (3)
GameDateWinning TeamLosing Team
1Oct. 1Pittsburgh (Phillippe) 7BOSTON (Young) 3
2Oct. 2BOSTON (Dinneen) 3Pittsburgh (Leever) 0
3Oct. 3Pittsburgh (Phillippe) 4BOSTON (Hughes) 2
4Oct. 6PITTSBURGH (Phillippe) 5Boston (Dinneen) 4
5Oct. 7Boston (Young) 11PITTSBURGH (Kennedy) 2
6Oct. 8Boston (Dinneen) 6PITTSBURGH (Leever) 3
7Oct. 10Boston (Young) 7PITTSBURGH (Phillippe) 3
8Oct. 13BOSTON (Dinneen) 3Pittsburgh (Phillippe) 0
Managers: Jimmy Collins, Pilgrims; Fred Clarke, Pirates
Notes: Pittsburgh right fielder Jimmy Sebring hit the first home run in Series history and led all regulars with a .367 average.


From this I counted how many shut-out games there were, how many 1-run games there were, the total runs scored, the total runs scored by the winning teams, the total runs scored by the losing teams, how many tie games there were, and how many extra-inning games there were.


I did this for all 107 series ever played.
