Trivia
- In Game 1, Paul Molitor set a World Series record for most hits and singles in a single-series game.
- Willie McGee's two home runs in Game 3 tied the record for most home runs in a World Series game by a rookie.
- The 1981 American League MVP Rollie Fingers was not available for the Brewers during the 1982 World Series due to a torn arm muscle.
- Game 7 was played on Cardinal first baseman Keith Hernandez's birthday.
- The 1982 Milwaukee Brewers hit 216 home runs during the regular season thus earning them the nickname Harvey's Wallbangers (after manager Harvey Kuenn). In a sharp contrast, the 1982 St. Louis Cardinals only hit 67 home runs; that's less than Gorman Thomas' 39 and Ben Oglivie's 34 combined.
- 1982 World Series MVP Darrell Porter joined the Cardinals as a free agent in 1980 around the same time that they traded away catcher Ted Simmons to the Brewers.
- Cardinals starting pitcher Joaquin Andujar was forced to leave Game 3 in the 7th inning after getting drilled just below the kneecap by a line drive from Ted Simmons. Andujar though, would return to start Game 7 in St. Louis.
- Game 6 was hampered by two rain delays that totaled up to 2 1/2 hours.
- Cardinals designated hitter Dane Iorg hit two doubles and a triple in Game 6. Three years later Iorg, with the Kansas City Royals, would get the game winning hit in the now infamous sixth game of the 1985 World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals.
