World Series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In baseball, the World Series is the championship series of Major League Baseball in the United States and Canada, 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) and is awarded the World Series Trophy, as well as World Series rings. These series' were arranged by the individual teams, not by the leagues directly, the same as the 1880s World's Series matches had been, and which had often proved troublesome. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Baseball/World_Series   (7237 words)

Baseball Hall of Fame balloting, 1946 In addition, the Hall of Fame Committee had instituted a set of criteria for the voters to observe in completing their ballot; for each candidate, they were to take into consideration:\n#playing ability\n#integrity\n#sportsmanship\n#character\n#contribution to the team on which they played and to baseball in general. Because the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA) had failed to elect any candidates in 1945, and had elected only one player since 1939, the previous delay of three years between elections had been eliminated in September 1945 by the Hall of Fame Committee, and annual elections restored. His ability to foul off pitches was a factor in baseball's move to count fouls as strikes. encyclopedia.codeboy.net /wikipedia/b/ba/baseball_hall_of_fame_balloting__1946.html   (596 words)

SABR UK: A brief history of UK baseball But it was not to be and although organised baseball continued, on and off, with a baseball trophy being competed for annually between the years 1906 and 1911, gradually the public's interest waned and newspaper coverage was usually poor and uninformed.

The Sporting News: Baseball History of the World Series While the 1992 World Series between the Braves and Toronto Blue Jays might have fallen just short of equaling the 1991 Series for sheer excitement, it was real close. This time, the Series participants engaged in four one-run games out of the six -- and the decisive game was an 11-inning thrill-o-rama that for taut drama would be difficult to top. Another pinch-hitter, Francisco Cabrera, tried to match his NL Championship Series heroics -- it was his two-run single that enabled the Braves to sew up the NL flag -- and he sent a scorching line drive to left field. tsn.sportingnews.com /archives/worldseries/1992.html   (1219 words)

Historic Baseball : 1906 Cubs paced the league with 116 wins, lost the World Series The Chicago Cubs set the modern mark for victories in 1906, but, due largely in part to their disaster in the World Series, the team isn't remembered as one of the greatest of all time.

1906 World Series Game 1 – White Sox @ Cubs The game furnished a good example of modern baseball, wherein the fine points of the game were more in evidence than the slugging of other days, but it was an error of puerile character which gave the American League team its winning margin. And that error also is the reason that to-night supporters of the winning team, erstwhile demanding odds in betting, are willing to take even money on the series. 1906 World Series Game 1 – White Sox@ Cubs geocities.com /redsoxfan_02269/1906GAME1.htm   (732 words)

Sox stalk the World Series The best-of-seven World Series is a trickier thing, but as Reinsdorf said in early September, no team in baseball seems to be a dominating juggernaut. All the haters/doubters also can clean their slate and simply remember that a best-of-five postseason series is like a quick-draw showdown at high noon between a pair of tired gunslingers. Victorious in their first two World Series appearances, they lost the 1919 ''Black Sox'' Series and to the Dodgers in 1959. www.suntimes.com /output/telander/cst-spt-rick30.html   (889 words)

World Series Champions The Red Sox became the first team to come back from a 3-0 series deficit in baseball history, and, overall, rattled off eight straight wins to capture the Commissioner's Trophy.

Tour de France - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This fear is surfacing in other sports, as Major League Baseball and track and field have been dogged by steroid controversies as well in recent years.

The Tour de France, in contrast, has long been a household name around the globe, even amongst people who are not generally interested in pro cycling, and is for cycling what the FIFA World Cup is to football in terms of global popularity. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Tour_de_France   (393 words)
