	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.

		The intrigue of the competition in this season's World Series had such a feeble grip on fans that Jim Gray's ill-timed NBC interview with Pete Rose two Sundays ago generated at least as much water-cooler talk over the course of the Series as the games did.
		To be known as the Team of the Decade, though, they needed to beat the Braves, because Atlanta, a rich team in its own right, also had a valid claim to that unofficial title as the 1999 World Series began.
		You know, of all the teams we've played in the postseason over the last nine or 10 years, the Yankees' lineup in '96 (a World Series loss for Atlanta) and the '93 Phillies (an NLCS loss) presented the most problems for our pitching staff because of their patience.

		Lowly East Side, who had a combined record of 23-78 over four seasons in the IWL basement facing their archrivals in the IWL World Series without Captain Brett Bell or veteran slugger and pitching ace Jeff King shouldn't have had a chance with only Chris Tarlov and Justin Sawchuk in the lineup.
		West Side Captain Karl Cyr led off the bottom half of the first with a 95 foot home run to left, but that would be all he and his Homiez could manage off the strong pitching of playoff upstart Sawchuk and veteran southpaw Tarlov.
		With plenty more Wiffleball to play here in the 1999 postseason the personal duel should prove to be very interesting, as Cyr has never been able to claim a true died-in-the-wool IWL rival.
