So, I still have three more pitchers to do for the end of the Honorable Mention Starting Pitchers. Yeah, I'm still working on it, sorry it's taken so long.
However, I think I'm going to make some changes to the way I'm doing this. Specifically, I think going forward I'm going to limit myself to PBL content exclusively. This is for two reasons. One, it means that I can move forward and generate PBL content more quickly, including and especially the PBL History / Best World Series and Greatest Teams pages. Two, I'm honestly enjoying generating the content for the real players so much that I intend to keep working on it privately with the intention of trying to get it published, one way or the other. But I'm mindful that putting the content on a publicly available website cannot help but diminish/risk my control of the intellectual property and I don't particularly want to risk that.
So: 1) I'm going to be rolling forward on the pyramid, but covering PBL content only; 2) I'll keep working on the MLB stuff (eventually) and if you are interested on being a reader for it (for amusement / feedback) shoot me a PM; I'll probably only take a few.
With this in mind, I have some questions about what makes a great World Series (because I'm going to be ranking them doncha know):
Longer series or shorter series? Two great teams? Two underdogs? The underdog winning? Is it better to have *the best* team/teams or just to have great teams generally? Do the playoffs before matter? Is a team scraping through two series more interesting than the team dominating them both? Ie, do you want teams that have dominated, teams that have struggled but persevered or does it not matter?
Anyhow, thanks for the reading and support through all my various projects,
Sansterre

Longer series for sure. Anything less than 6 games .... hard pressed to picture it as a great series.
Dramatic finishes to individual games. Multiple walkoffs, etc.
Matchup storylines... such as a player that was traded between the two or a repeat of a prior World Series matchup, etc.

Which means that I can see that Team A beat Team B 4-2 but I have zero idea about how any of the games went except that Team A won game 6. I'm pretty much trying to develop a formula based on weighted values on subjective things available from that database.

Just as long as you remember that the Rockies came back against the Dodgers in 2042, down 0-3, winning four straight games and taking the WS on a walkoff homer by Jim Hull in the bottom of the 9th.
