  World Series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
In baseball, the World Series is the championship series of Major League Baseball in the United States and Canada, 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.
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.
These series' were arranged by the individual teams, not by the leagues directly, the same as the 1880s World's Series matches had been, and which had often proved troublesome.

 The following article is from a special issue of Helios entitled "Rescuing Creusa: New Methodological Approaches to ...
The younger Pliny reports that both daughters of one of his friends, Helvidius, died during labor.(4) And the Athenian philanthropist, Herodes Atticus, was grief­stricken when his first child, a son, died on the day of his birth.(5) The anxiety and grief of the elite was surely paralleled among the lower classes.
Regardless of the lack of attention to hygiene and sanitation and the likelihood that the medications employed did little good- except as they exercised a placebo effect and prevented dehydration- we must remember that, at the very least, the maternity care described by Pliny was very personal and attentive to the mother.
It seems probable, therefore, that the rates of maternal and infant mortality in the Greco-Roman world varied with the socio­economic class of the family and with the family's choice between traditional folk medicine and professionalized obstetrical care.
