		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.).
		Many players had long felt the owners were denying them their fair share of club profits, and in no more obvious instance than in the World Series, where the triumphant owners were taking in record receipts and were rumored to have sold tickets to scalpers to make even more.
		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.

		The Chicago Cubs –; in Year 93 of a 100-year rebuilding plan the franchise set in action after losing the 1910 World Series – are starting to reap the benefits of their patience.
		With a slim lead in the National League Central, the Cubs are in position to make a run at their first World Series championship since 1908 –; a title that team management didn’t target until 2010 after dismantling the Series-losing squad of 1910 in favor of a ten decade rebuilding plan.
		The organization is on track for achieving its goal of seriously contending for a World Series title in 2010, based on the rebuilding plan that has been kept behind bulletproof glass in Cubs offices since it was drawn up in 1910.

	Nitpick for the historical simmers... - OOTP Developments Forums
		From 1919-1921, the Series had reverted back to a best-of-9 format, so I'll leave these years out since that length of series can't be used in OOTP (although, as mentioned earlier, 1921 followed the simple alternating method).
		Finally, in 1924, the pattern was standardized at 2-3-2, regardless of the cities the teams were from, and has been used in every World Series since, with two exceptions, In 1943 and 1945, due to travel restrictions caused by the war, the home field rotation pattern was changed to 3-4.
		The cancellation of the World Series in 1994 meant that the rotation for that year was skipped, so in 1995 the NL team got the home field advantage, and from there things alternated once again, with odd years going to the NL team and even years going to the AL team.
