	World Series - Printer-friendly - MSN Encarta
		The World Series is held in October and concludes the major league baseball season.
		The first contests resembling the World Series were held during the 1880s, when the leading baseball clubs of the two major leagues—the National League and the American Association—agreed to play in exhibition games following their regular seasons.
		The World Series continued to be played during World War II (1939-1945), but all of baseball faced difficulties.

	World Series - MSN Encarta
		The first World Series was held in 1903, when Barney Dreyfuss, owner of the NL champion Pittsburgh Pirates, challenged Henry Killilea, owner of the AL champion Boston Americans (later renamed the Boston Red Sox), to a best-of-nine-games series.
		The 1920 World Series, which matched the Cleveland Indians and the Brooklyn Dodgers (later the Los Angeles Dodgers), became memorable for one of baseball's rarest feats—the unassisted triple play.
		The 1921 World Series was played entirely in New York City, between the New York Yankees and the New York Giants.

	Wikinfo \| World Series
		In baseball, the World Series is the championship series of Major League Baseball in North America, played in October after the end of the regular season between the pennant winner of the American League and the pennant winner of the National League.
		The Series winner is determined through a best-of-seven playoff (except in 1903, 1919, 1920 and 1921 when the winner was determined through a best-of-nine playoff).
		The 1904 Series was supposed to be between the AL's Boston Pilgrims and the NL's New York Giants.

	World Series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The World Series is played between the winners of the American League and National League.
		The 1991 World Series was the first Series to feature a team who had finished in last place in its division the previous year.
		The 2001 World Series is the only series to have games played in November (due to the season being delayed by the September 11th terrorist attacks).

	1903 WS - BR Bullpen
		The Series was the result of the peace pact signed in January 1903 in Cincinnati, OH between the presidents of the two leagues - Ban Johnson for the American League and Harry Pulliam for the National League - that ended two years of bickering, contract jumping and name-calling that was hurting both leagues' attendance.
		As the 1903 season drew to a close and with his team in first place, Barney Dreyfuss, the owner of Pittsburgh's franchise, saw the potential of re-kindling fans' interest by arranging a series of games with the rival league's champions, Boston.
		The first World Series game was played on October 1, 1903 at Boston's Huntington Avenue Grounds before a packed crowd of over 16,000, an enormous number for the time, which indicated immediately that the Series had caught fans' imaginations.

		The first World Series, in 1903, was a best-of-nine affair arranged by the winners of the NL and the AL and won by the AL's Boston Pilgrims in a 5-3 upset over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
		With the Series held in two small ballparks and the broadcast fees now aimed at a player pension fund, the Cardinal share of $3,748 and the Red Sox portion of $2,140 is the smallest Series payoff since 1918.
		Series MVP Bret Saberhagen pitches the shutout while Cardinals ace John Tudor allows five runs in 21/3 innings and fellow 20-game winner Joaquin Andujar is ejected for arguing balls and strikes during Kansas City's 6-run 5th inning.

	World Series
		The World Series, which has determined the championship of professional baseball every year but two since 1903, can be traced to a series played in 1884.
		The "modern" World Series was established between the American League and its older rival, the National League, in 1903 as part of a plan to regularize competition between the leagues.
		The National League tried a championship series between the winners of the first half of the season against the winners of the second half, but it was not a hit with the fans and was dropped in 1893.

	1903 World Series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 1903 World Series was a best-of-nine affair.
		Baseball would go to a best-of-seven format when the Series was revived in 1905 (the '04 Series not being played), but would go back to best-of-nine for the 1919, 1920 and 1921 World Series before permanently deciding on best-of-seven.
		This first postseason series would also be the first time a team has come back from a 3 games to 1 deficit to win a postseason series.

		Boston evened the Series, though, when Bill Dinneen threw a three-hitter and Patsy Dougherty walloped two homers in a 3-0 triumph.
		The 3-0 decision was the Red Sox's fourth straight triumph and made the upstart Boston team champion of the First American league-vs. National League World Series.
		Perhaps the main thing about the 1903 Series, though, was that it at least cooled tempers between baseball's warring factions.

		The primary danger came from the stage scenery consisting of many canvas backdrops painted with highly flammable oil paints and suspended in midair close to a large number of hot lights.
