	World Series - Printer-friendly - MSN Encarta
		The World Series is held in October and concludes the major league baseball season.
		The first contests resembling the World Series were held during the 1880s, when the leading baseball clubs of the two major leagues—the National League and the American Association—agreed to play in exhibition games following their regular seasons.
		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.

	1993 World Series Information
		This was only the second Series concluded by such a home run (the first was in the 1960 World Series on a Bill Mazeroski home run for the Pittsburgh Pirates), and the first such occasion where a come-from-behind walk-off home run won a World Series.
		World Series MVP Paul Molitor became the first man in World Series history to have at least two home runs, two doubles, and two triples.
		Not only were the Jays the defending World Champions, with seven members of the American League All-Star Team on their roster (including Molitor, Carter, Roberto Alomar, John Olerud and Devon White), but the Phillies pulled a major upset over the Atlanta Braves just to get to the World Series.

	deseretnews.com \| Place in history: Famous HR was key, but Vern Law played a role, too
		With the 2005 World Series on the horizon, Law's 1960 highlight film — copied from its original 16mm format to VHS and needing a transfer to DVD — will be pulled out and watched again in his Provo home with family members and friends.
		Pittsburgh and the majors seemed a world away for Vernon Sanders Law, a Meridian, Idaho, farm boy and overpowering pitcher who didn't know what a change-up was until he signed with the Pirates in 1948 at age 18.
		The 1960 World Series was projected as a likely four-game sweep by the Yankees, featuring pitching ace Whitey Ford and a modern-day Murderers' Row of Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Bobby Richardson, Yogi Berra and Moose Skowron.

	The Sporting News: Baseball History of the World Series
		The Series rivals had used vastly different methods while fashioning a 3-3 standoff: The Yankees wielded a bludgeon, while the Pirates relied on finesse.
		While the first six games of the '60 Series had been notable because of their general wackiness (the Yankees' victories, for instance, coming by the combined score of 38-3), Game 7 proved memorable because it unfolded along classic lines.
		Law, drawing his third start of the Series, was staked to a 4-0 lead when Rocky Nelson cracked a two-run homer in the first inning off Turley and Virdon stroked a two-run single in the second against reliever Bill Stafford.
