The World Series
The World Series or "Fall Classic," as it is also known,
celebrated 100 years in 2003. Although the first World Series wasn't
until 1903, Major League Baseball had several incarnations of a
post-season championship series for many years before that. In 1884,
the Providence Grays of the National League beat the New York Metropolitan
Club of the American Association in a three game series in what
was dubbed "The Championship of the United States." Newspapers
called the Grays the "World Champions" and the name stuck.
Over the next several years, various versions of the championship
took place between the National League and American Association
pennant-winners. But when the American Association folded unexpectedly
after the 1891 season, the series was suspended.
In an effort to promote the expansion of baseball, the National
League took on four of the American Association's former franchises.
They played a split season in which the first-half winner played
the second-half winner for the league championship. Fans didn't
like the idea and the split season was quickly dropped in 1893.
In 1894, Pittsburgh's owner William C. Temple offered a trophy
to the winner of a best-of-seven-game series between the National
League's first and second-place teams. He offered the winning team
65% of all ticket sales and the losing team 35%. Boston accepted
the challenge and beat Pittsburgh five games to three. Temple's
approach to the series worked for several years and added to baseball's
post-season popularity. Seven years later, in 1903, the first World
Series would be played and Boston would claim the first pennant.
