Has there ever been a time in baseball history when there has been a sweep in all series?

The first three series of this year's MLB playoffs have been sweeps and there might be another one. Do you know if there has ever been a sweep in the a single round of the playoffs by every team?

1969
ALCS: Baltimore over Minnesota, 3-0
NLCS: NY Mets over Atlanta, 3-0

1970
ALCS: Baltimore over Minnesota, again, 3-0
NLCS: Cincinnati over Pittsburgh, 3-0

1975
ALCS: Boston over Oakland, 3-0
NLCS: Cincinnati over Pittsburgh, again, 3-0

But since the Division Series was added? No. Not even close, really.

Fine with me if the Indians sweep tonight, that gives me three and a half days without having to think about baseball, and I have other things to do. :D

This would be the first DS. It's actually the first time in history of Division Series play that three series, let alone four, have been won by sweeps.

'According to ESPN鈥檚 Jayson Stark, 鈥淭his was just the second time that all four series were 2-0. The other was 1995, but the Yankees didn't even win their series after going up 2-0 that year.鈥?#039;
