BASEBALL/ World Series Election Trivia

There would indeed be a little bit of humor, in this election season, if we were to see an Astros-Red Sox World Series, Texas vs. Massachusetts. Here’s a little quickie trivia (answers to follow later):
1. Who was the last team from a major party presidential candidate’s home state to make the World Series in an election year?
2. Who was the last team from a successful major party presidential candidate’s home state to win the World Series in an election year?
(“Home state” here meaning the conventional view – the state where the candidate spent his adult life and won elective office, rather than, say, considering Bush from Connecticut and Kerry from Colorado, the states of their birth)
UPDATE: The first commenter gets it, so think of your answer before you check the comments.
