Apple TV+ today announced it has partnered with Major League Baseball and Imagine Documentaries on a three-part documentary that will offer "behind-the-scenes coverage" of the upcoming 2024 World Series. Production on the currently-untitled docuseries is already underway, but a release date has yet to be disclosed.

Apple said the docuseries will explore the "dramatic, high-stakes world" of the World Series and each team's battle to win the championship, and offer interviews with players and their family members, coaches, fans, and journalists. New York Yankees legend and five-time World Series champion Derek Jeter will serve as an executive producer.

The 2024 World Series is expected to begin in late October, but the two teams who will compete for the championship have yet to be determined. In the American League Championship Series, the New York Yankees have a 2-0 lead over the Cleveland Guardians in the best-of-seven series. In the National League Championship Series, the Los Angeles Dodgers have a 2-1 advantage over the New York Mets in that best-of-seven series. The winning teams in those series will face each other in the World Series.

Apple TV+ has been the home of MLB's "Friday Night Baseball" for three consecutive seasons, and the service has also offered documentaries about the NFL's New England Patriots, NBA star Stephen Curry, Argentinian soccer star Lionel Messi, and more.

Nice. Their Friday night coverage is quality. That combined with the very good documentaries that ATV+ has hosted and I'm definitely interested in checking this out.

Ah yes - "World Series" - with teams from all countries in the world taking part.... No?

I think it would be great for MLB to expand, although they are basically a monopoly in the US so who knows with the owners. Some sort of premiere league system might be good but we're a long way away from that ever happening.
 
I went and saw the Braves vs Dodgers a few weeks back in Atlanta. Sad to see the Braves lost against the Padres in the wildcard.
 
I don’t like baseball.. Apple buy out the NFL please.. watching football is so disjointed and low quality
 
Oh wow - to me this means it has to be Yankees v Dodgers - biggest players and team draw for merchandise.

But I digress - LFGM!
 
Can’t wait to see the full screen takeover ad for this one next time I launch the tv app to watch my purchased content.

Why is it called the World Series?

The first such series was called the "World's Series", having to do with its sponsorship by a newspaper, supposedly. But there are other theories. The second such series, which is the current one, just continued to use the name, along with "The Championship of the United States", which didn't catch on since "World's Series" was already well known.
 
I love Apple’s baseball coverage. If the Vision Pro offered some novel way to watch baseball, I’d buy one even at the current price.

A theory i had with a friend is that they could offer an add on for the MLB season ticket to get an actual seat at each park. The difficulty would be how to make the fans not mess with it lol
