	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.

	1959 World Series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This World Series was the first since 1948 that no Series games were played in New York City.
		After this Series, the White Sox didn't play in another until finally winning it all in 2005.
		Ted Kluszewski played for the losing "Pale Hose", but still managed to drive in a World Series record ten (10) runs and became the first player to have double-digit RBI totals for any length Series.

	A once-in-a-lifetime celebration
		With hard-held allegiances split between the Sox and Cubs, the World Series victory was not quite the same kind of local lovefest fostered by the Michael Jordan-led Bulls or the 1985 Bears.
		While in 1959, the city shook up some by sounding the air raid sirens, this time the sounds of joy were punctuated with another disturbing noise: gunfire.
		But in these parts, the World Series was as if a new holiday had suddenly been invented -- a new kind of Christmas week where work and school were lightened by talk of bunts and beanballs.

	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 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.
		The Yankees appeared in their last World Series for the next 12 years in 1964 and lost to the Cardinals, led by Bob Gibson.

	Let's Go, Go-Go White Sox - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The song first appeared in 1959 during the White Sox' run for the AL pennant--the team's first league championship since the infamous Black Sox Scandal of 1919.
		In 2005, the White Sox won 99 games en route to their first division title in 12 years, their first postseason series win of any kind since the 1917 World Series (in the Division Series), their first World Series appearance since 1959, and their first World Series championship since 1917.
		WGN TV also played the song during the victory parade on October 28, over a series of clips that interwove action footage from 1959 and 2005.

	Sporting News: Baseball History of the World Series
		Los Angeles fans, expectations high for a club that had won four NL pennants in its last six seasons in Brooklyn, received a jolt in '58 when the Dodgers made their West Coast debut by finishing two games from the basement.
		The 1959 World Series between the Dodgers and the American League champion Chicago White Sox began at Comiskey Park, which hadn't played host to a Series game since the concluding game of the scandal-ridden 1919 affair.
		In their last Series game three years earlier, the Dodgers had lost, 9-0, and they now had scored one run in their last four Series contests.

		Reggie Jackson is the lifetime World Series slugging percentage leader with a mark of.755, including a staggering.890 in three series with the Yankees.
		Such was the case in the 1959 World Series, when the Los Angeles Dodgers' Chuck Essegian carved his name in the World Series record book by clubbing an unprecedented two pinch-hit homers in the Dodgers' first-ever Los Angeles World Series win.
		The first time a manager won the World Series in both leagues, he opposed a manager in the series who had also won a World Series in the other league and was trying to accomplish the same feat.
