		The series was first played in 1903, and we learn that some National League teams (formed in 1876) were not eager to play the new American League (which had been formed in 1901).
		World Series pitching statistics are included for a number of baseball greats including Christy Mathewson (NY Giants; 1905 World Series) to Babe Adams (Pittsburgh Pirates; 1909 World Series) to Don Larsen's 1956 perfect game in a World Series to current day Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling.
		World Series Heroes is intended for children who are just beginning chapter books or who are beginning to read alone, probably in first or second grade, depending on their ability.

	World Series \| BaseballLibrary.com
		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.
		The first example came in 1909, when the Pirates' Babe Adams, a rookie pitcher who was 12-3 during the year and not considered the team's ace, was given the starting assignment in the Series opener.
		The 1917 Series was memorable for Giants third baseman Heinie Zimmerman's futile chase to home plate of Eddie Collins as the White Sox took the lead in the Series clincher; neither catcher Lew McCarty nor pitcher Rube Benton covered home.

	World Series St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture - Find Articles
		The term "World Series" was first coined for a nine-game series between the Boston Pilgrims and the Pittsburgh Pirates, an informal outgrowth of a 1903 "peace treaty" signed between the two competing "major" baseball leagues, the 27-year-old National League (N.L.) and the upstart 2-year-old American League (A.L.).
		The World Series not only bounced back in the 1920s, but came to form the centerpiece of a new era of popularity and stability for baseball.
		John McGraw's Giants had returned to the World Series in 1921 to find they were in the first of 13 "Subway Series," facing their co-tenants at the Polo Grounds, the Yankees, who now had the biggest star in sports, Babe Ruth.

	October 24, 2004 - A Fall Classic for the Greatest Canadian
		In the one Series that O'Neill's St. Louis Browns managed to win, in 1886, O'Neill led the team with a.400 average and became the first man in post-season history to hit two homers in a single game.
		O'Neill is also the first man to homer in multiple series, as he would go deep in the 1887 series, won by the Detroit Wolverines 10 games to 5.
		Possibly the most famous Canadian to appear in a World Series, Butler had a hit and a run for the Jays in 1993, and is of course the only Canadian to taste champagne for a Canadian team.

	This Great Game 1909: Three-Beat
		In 1909, they would make it a third straight appearance, and to their utter relief, it would be against someone else: The Pittsburgh Pirates.
		A second series loomed for the two teams back at Shibe Park in late September, with the AL pennant all but likely to be in the balance.
		The World Series was built up not so much as a matchup between Pittsburgh and Detroit as it was a showdown of Wagner and Cobb—the mild-mannered, gangly veteran against the angry young man with a razor-sharp ax to grind.

		Over the last century, the World Series has been woven into the fabric of America's culture evolving far beyond a mere football tournament.
		The World Series is the crushing blow of Fred Snodgrass dropping a routine fly ball and Willie McCovey hitting the final out straight to Bobby Richardson.

	Baseball Almanac - World Series Menu
		The inaugural World Series of 1903 was a resounding success and represented the first step in healing the bruised egos of both the veteran National and fledgling American Leagues.
		Pittsburgh and Boston went head-to-head for eight games proving that great baseball between the two leagues was possible and that a merger would benefit the growth of the sport.
		Surprisingly, Brush regretted the decision and later that year proposed to continue with the series as originally conceived.

		Vic Aldridge, who had pitched the distance in the Pirates' lone victory of the Series, was called upon by Manager Bill McKechnie to keep his club afloat in Game 5.
		Of particular note was the performance of the Senators' outfield, as Goose Goslin whacked three home runs in the Series for the second straight year, Joe Harris hit.440 with three homers and Rice batted.364 and made an unforgettable defensive play.
		For the Pirates, it was a return to a supremacy of the baseball world they had not enjoyed since 1909 when rookie pitcher Babe Adams led the club to the World Series title by beating the Detroit Tigers three times.

		It was the first World Series game-opening homer since Derek Jeter of the New York Yankees in the 2000 World Series against the New York Mets.
		In a somewhat fitting coincidence, their World Series victory came 18 years to the day (October 27) after their loss to the New York Mets in the 1986 World Series, and on the night of a lunar eclipse.
		This was the first World Series since 1999 that featured no expansion teams, the longest such streak in MLB history.
