	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.

	1962 World Series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 1962 World Series matched the defending champion New York Yankees against the San Francisco Giants, who had won their first NL pennant since moving from New York in 1958, defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers in a three-game playoff.
		This Series, which was closely matched in every game, is remembered for its then-record length of thirteen days, caused by rain in both cities, and its appropriately dramatic conclusion.
		Hot hitting Jose Pagan drove in two runs with a single in the third and a home run in the 5th, but with the score tied 2-2 in the 8th, Tom Tresh walloped what proved to be the winning homer, a three-run shot that scored Bobby Richardson and Tony Kubek in front of him.

	Rays: It's World Series time
		The World Series begins next weekend and we could be only a week or two away from etching another name in baseball lore for his Series heroics - or for his Fall Classic blunders.
		Often, the World Series leads to an intersection where the roads to hero and goat meet.
		Pittsburgh overcame a 3-1 series deficit by beating Mike Flanagan and Jim Palmer, but it looked like the 25-year-old McGregor was going to slam the door as he carried a 1-0 lead into the sixth.

		Terry, who in the seventh game of the 1960 Series yielded Bill Mazeroski's decisive, last-of-the-ninth home run and then in Game 2 of the 1961 Series suffered New York's only defeat of that fall classic, had won 23 games for the Yankees in '62 and was a complete-game winner in Game 5 of this Series.
		Whitey Ford was a 6-2 winner in the opener, posting a record 10th Series triumph and stretching his consecutive-innings scoreless streak in the fall classic to 33 before San Francisco got on the scoreboard in the second inning.
		The grand slam, the first in Series history by a National League player, snapped a 2-2 tie at Yankee Stadium and made a winner out of a 33-year-old San Francisco reliever who had retired only one batter in the game.

		Richardson won 3 World Series (1958, 1961, 1962) of the 7 he played with the Yankees(1957, 1958, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964).
		He made the final out of the 1962 Series, snaring a screaming line drive off the bat of Willie McCovey, that if it had been two or three feet higher would have won the Series for the San Francisco Giants.
		He was named World Series MVP in 1960 when he helped the Yankees against the Pittsburgh Pirates, although they lost in a Series in which normally light-hitting second basemen (the other being the Bucs' Bill Mazeroski) shone at the plate.

	2006 World Series
		The amazing thing is that this Cardinal team won 83 games in the regular season, so if the Cardinals win one game in their remaining three chances at this World Series, it would be the fewest regular season wins by a world champion in Major League Baseball history.
		MLB.com has a large continent at the World Series as usual, and the hub of our editorial operations at Busch for this part of the series is Big Mac's namesake suite.
		It's almost in the Cardinals' World Series DNA if you look through their rich history, and that was the outcome of both previous World Series meetings with the Tigers in 1934 and 1968.
