Two different kinds of ending
The Majors postseason is a series -- Platoon's titles read 2-1, 2-0, 2-1, 2-1, 2-0, which is a best-of-three decided by a single game five times out of six. The AA and AAA finals are single games with a single score, from a 14-0 to a 4-2.
That is a sensible split. The eight-month division earns a series; the twelve-week ones do not.
Photographs are attached to each championship on the archive page, which is more than most leagues manage. A High Cheese league page keeps the bracket, the deciding game and the winning roster attached to the season, so a two-one series is readable as three games rather than as a final score.
