Globe Life Field to host the entire 2020 World Series
5 years ago - Sportingbase
Major League Baseball has decided to play the entire 2020 World Series at the Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas according to NBC News Dallas-Fort Worth on Tuesday. The reason why players will play at only one site for the best out of seven championship series is to reduce the risk the chances of players getting coronavirus by traveling from city to city. Globe Life Field is the home park of the Texas Rangers.
In addition to Globe Life Park hosting the World Series, they will also host one of the two National League Divisional Series, and the entire National League Championship Series. Houston meanwhile, will host the other National League Divisional Series.
In the American League, San Diego will host the American League Championship Series, and one of the two American League Divisional Series. The other ALDS will be played at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.
It is interesting that Major League Baseball has decided to play the ALDS and ALCS in National League baseball parks, and the NLCS and NLDS in American League baseball parks. The eight first round series, which will be known as the Wild Card Series, will be played in the ball parks of the six division winners and the best second place team from each league.

The last time that all games were played in one stadium for the World Series was 1944. That year the St. Louis Cardinals beat the St. Louis Browns four games to two. However, the reason why all six games were played in St. Louis is because the Browns and Cardinals each shared Sportsman’s Park in St. Louis, Missouri.
