	World Series - MSN Encarta
		The World Series is held in October and concludes the major league baseball season.
		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 World Series is the championship series of Major League Baseball in the United States and Canada, the culmination of the sport's postseason each October.
		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.
		One of these series at the end of 1903 was a meeting between the two pennant winners and is known as the 1903 World Series.

	Series -- from Wolfram MathWorld
		The term infinite series is sometimes used to emphasize the fact that series contain an infinite number of terms.
		Riemann series theorem states that, by a suitable rearrangement of terms, a so-called conditionally convergent series may be made to converge to any desired value, or to diverge.
		Although terms of a series can have either sign, convergence properties can often be computed in the "worst case" of all terms being positive, and then applied to the particular series at hand.

	World Series : A Comprehensive History of the World Series by Baseball Almanac
		Every sport has their pinnacle trophy, but none is as coveted as baseball's World Series; a best of seven contest that celebrates our national pastime.
		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.
		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.

	World Series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The title of this championship is confusing to some international readers, because the World Series is confined to the champions of two baseball leagues that currently operate only in the United States and Canada.
		The World Baseball Classic's inaugural tournament in 2006 is an attempt to rectify this apparent US-centric naming, and to begin to establish a "true" world's championship in the way the term is normally used for other international sports.
		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).

		Even though the 1941 Series went five games, it will always be the fourth one that will be remembered as the one that wrapped up the Series for the Yankees.
		The 1949 World Series was the first for Casey Stengel as the manager of the Yankees.
		So the fact that it was the Yankees, not the Dodgers, who won the World Series that year has to be one of the biggest upsets in baseball history.

	When a Strikeout Was Good
		The year was 1941 and the Yankees were playing the Dodgers in the first of what would become seven World Series meetings between the cross-town rivals.
		Tommy Henrich may be best known for his strikeout in the 1941 World Series, but he had a magnificent career and is considered one of the best clutch hitters of all time.
		The 1949 World Series once more matched the Yankees and Dodgers, and Henrich would again became a hero, but not by striking out.

		Johnson and Series veteran Art Nehf were pitching opponents in Game 1 of the Series, and both went the distance in what turned out to be a 12-inning cliffhanger witnessed by, among others, President Calvin Coolidge.
		But the "sure" second out never materialized as Hank Gowdy, World Series hero for the Boston Braves a decade earlier, stumbled over his mask and dropped the ball.
		Fittingly, Johnson, after tough sledding in his two Series starts and some anxious moments in a four-inning relief sting in this climactic game, was the winning pitcher in this 4-3 game that netted Washington its first World Series title.

		The 1994 World Series was cancelled on September 14 of that year due to an ongoing strike by the Major League Baseball Players Association, which had begun on August 12.
		Many baseball fans lamented that while two World Wars, a Great Depression, an earthquake (1989), and other crises and disasters could not cancel a World Series, financial issues could and did.
		This was to have been the first year of a regularly scheduled three-tier playoff system, as the NL and AL were divided into three divisions (East, Central, and West) at the start of the 1994 season.
