The Detroit Tigers won the 1968 World Series 4 games to 1. Detroit can credit their pitching staff's ability to shut down the St. Louis offense as the key to defeating the Cardinals. Detroit also had timely hitting and played good defense, committing only 1 error. St. Louis, conversely, can blame their lack of hitting, sloppy defense, and mediocre pitching (with the exception of Bob Gibson) on their defeat.
