	World Series Summary
		The term "World Series" was first coined for a nine-game series between the Boston Pilgrims and the Pittsburgh Pirates, an informal outgrowth of a 1903 "peace treaty" signed between the two competing "major" baseball leagues, the 27-year-old National League (N.L.) and the upstart 2-year-old American League (A.L.).
		Despite its name, the World Series is not a "world championship" in the same sense as the FIFA World Cup or the Cricket World Cup because it is not between national teams, but is limited to Major League Baseball teams, which represent individual cities and states (currently of the United States and Canada only).
		One of these series at the end of 1903 was a meeting between the two pennant winners and is known as the 1903 World Series.

	Urban Legends Reference Pages: World Series
		Many believe that the name World Series is American hype or arrogance, but the truth is that the Series was named after the New York World newspaper who sponsored the title games in the early part of the century.
		The "Temple Cup" championship series, as it became known, was held for the four years between 1894 and 1897, after which a lack of fan interest resulted in its termination and the return of the cup to its donor.
		When the World Series between the National and American leagues began in 1903, the owners borrowed the name from the world championship series held in the 1880s between the National League and the American Association.

	ESPN Classic - 1991 World Series had it all
		Kirby Puckett pumping his fist as he circled the bases after his 11th-inning home run off Charlie Leibrandt was one of the greatest moments in World Series history and it wasn't even the most memorable performance of the series.
		The 1975 series had the better cast, with four future Hall of Famers (Carl Yastrzemski, Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan and Tony Perez), plus Pete Rose, but it couldn't compare to 1991's plot, the most improbable script that didn't originate with someone at Industrial Light and Magic.
		Had the 1991 World Series been played in New York or Boston or down the block from Doris Kearns Goodwin, it would be regarded as the best series of all time, hands down.

		It was almost certainly the most unlikely World Series Championship matchup ever, as the Twins and Braves became the first two teams in Major League Baseball history to go from last to first in the space of one season.
		The first three innings were scoreless, but then the Braves hammered five Minnesota pitchers for 14 runs, on their way to a 14-5 triumph and a 3-2 edge in the Series.

		This time, the Series participants engaged in four one-run games out of the six -- and the decisive game was an 11-inning thrill-o-rama that for taut drama would be difficult to top.
		Another pinch-hitter, Francisco Cabrera, tried to match his NL Championship Series heroics -- it was his two-run single that enabled the Braves to sew up the NL flag -- and he sent a scorching line drive to left field.
