The 1944 World Series was an all-St. Louis World Series, matching up the St. Louis Cardinals and St. Louis Browns at Sportsman's Park. It marked only the third time in World Series history in which both teams had the same home field, Sportsman's Park (the other two being the 1921 and 1922 in the Polo Grounds). The Series was also known as the "Streetcar Series", or the "St. Louis Showdown."
