	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.

		In baseball, the World Series is the championship series of Major League Baseball in North America, played in October after the end of the regular season between the pennant winner of the American League and the pennant winner of the National League.
		Over the last century, the World Series has been woven into the fabric of America's culture evolving far beyond a mere baseball tournament.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.
		The 1958 World Series was again an affair between the Yankees and the Braves, this time the Yankees won it 4 games to 3.

	MY FAVORITE MARTIAN &
		To put the series in context, prior to My Favorite Martian’s premiere on Sept 29, 1963, the only other regular prime time comedy to use special effects was the 1953 TV show, Topper, which in turn, was derived from the Topper movies of 1937 and 1939.
		The TV series contained occasional references to the world of 1963, especially in the pilot episode with the spaceship’s encounter with the USA’s X-15 rocket plane, a high-altitude test plane that was launched from beneath the starboard wing of a B-52 bomber
		Having continued their winning streak from the previous year in their new ballpark, The Los Angeles Dodgers won the 1963 World Series, and so it was natural that a few references were made about the championship Dodger team in the first season of the show.

		In four of their seven previous World Series meetings, it took the two teams the full seven games to decide the outcome and never less than five games.
		It was a tune-up for the World Series and I gave up eight runs (in 1.2 innings),” said Podres, the winner in Game 2 of the 1959 World Series that saw the Dodgers win their second title by downing the Chicago White Sox.
		So with a 3-0 series lead, on a Sunday afternoon at Dodger Stadium, the Dodgers were on the brink of doing the unthinkable, sweeping the New York Yankees, a franchise which had only been swept one time (in 1922) in its 27 prior World Series appearances.

		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.
