The 1938 World Series matched the two-time defending champion New York Yankees against the Chicago Cubs, with the Yankees sweeping the Series in four games for their seventh championship. They became the first team to win at least three championships in a row. (They would win again in 1939 to become the first team to win four straight, would win five straight from 1949 through 1953, and would assemble a third three-year streak from 1998 to 2000. The Oakland Athletics matched the three-straight accomplishment from 1972 through 1974.)

| abstract
| - The 1938 World Series matched the two-time defending champion New York Yankees against the Chicago Cubs, with the Yankees sweeping the Series in four games for their seventh championship. They became the first team to win at least three championships in a row. (They would win again in 1939 to become the first team to win four straight, would win five straight from 1949 through 1953, and would assemble a third three-year streak from 1998 to 2000. The Oakland Athletics matched the three-straight accomplishment from 1972 through 1974.) The Cubs' defeat extended their championship-less drought to thirty years. As of this writing, that streak has lasted 104 years and counting. 1938 is also their second-most recent World Series appearance. Their only subsequent appearance was in 1945. Eleven Hall of Famers took part in the Series, seven Yankees and four Cubs (one of whom, Tony Lazerri, had played his entire career with the Yankees up till the previous year. Of these eleven, it was the final World Series in the careers of four of them: Lazzeri, Billy Herman, Dizzy Dean, and Lou Gehrig, who would abruptly retire in the middle of the next season due to an as-yet undiagnosed case of the terminal disease ALS.
- The 1938 World Series matched the two-time defending champion New York Yankees against the Chicago Cubs, with the Yankees sweeping the Series in four games for their seventh championship and record third straight (they would win four in a row this time, and five in a row later from 1949–53). Dizzy Dean, who had helped carry the Cubs to the National League pennant despite a sore arm (had W-L record of 7-1 in limited action) ran out of gas in the Series as the Yanks crushed the Cubs again, as they had in 1932. The Cubs did not win a meaningful game against the Yankees until a regular-season interleague series in 2003. The onoly survivors of the 1938 World Series are Tommy Henrich (Yankees) and [[Phil Cavarretta (Cubs), both generally rated as among the top 500 players ever. Yankee starting pitcher Red Ruffing won two games without a loss, although he gave up a record seventeen hits in eighteen innings pitched. This was the first World Series at Wrigley Field since the bleacher reconstruction of 1937 which had significantly shortened the left-centerfield power alley, and led to the phrase "the friendly confines" of Wrigley Field
