There is a dispute as to whether the following World Series can be considered sweeps as, in both cases, while the team did win four games and lost none, each series had a tied game. A number of sources do not recognize them as official sweeps while others list them as such.
In the 25 times teams have taken a 3-0 World Series lead, the opponent has forced a Game 5 four times. No team which has forced a World Series Game 5 has went on force a Game 6, let alone complete a comeback, i.e. a "reverse sweep."
