World Series Sweeps

Baseball Almanac presents the World Series dominators. Each of the following teams went to the World Series, but one swept the other before it became too much of a Series making it known that though they both made it to the Fall Classic, one of the two was truly dominant.
"Man, if I made one million dollars I would come in at six in the morning, sweep the stands, wash the uniforms, clean out the office, manage the team and play the games." - Hall of Famer Duke Snider
