Read about the history of the
World Series,
Rawlings, and all about
Major League Baseball.
The History of the World
Series
Before the birth of the World Series
in 1903, there were other postseason championships that took place
as early as 1884. Although they are not officially recognized as
part of World Series history, they provide a basis for the
establishment of what has become recognized as "The Fall Classic."
The Fall Classic has provided us with many magical moments. The
first World Series, in 1903, was a best-of-nine affair arranged
between the champions of the older National League (founded in 1876)
and the American League. The AL's Boston Pilgrims upset the
Pittsburgh Pirates, 5 games to 3.
The 1904 NL champion New York Giants refused to play Boston the
following year, so there was no Series. But the league presidents
smoothed out their differences, and the Series resumed in 1905, when
the Giants agreed to play Philadelphia in a best-of-7 game series.
Since then the World Series has followed the best-of-seven format --
except from 1919-21, when it returned briefly to best-of-nine.
The rest, as they say, is history.
Facts About The
(ROMLB) Rawlings Official Major
League Baseball
Supplied exclusively by Rawlings® for over a quarter-century, each
ball comes
carefully crafted, weighed, measured, tested, inspected, and
re-inspected. 5 ounces.
108 stitches. Absolute Perfection.
Rawlings - Costa Rica produces 80,000 dozen major league game balls
a year, Minor
league baseballs are made at the Rawlings plant in China.
Six-seven dozen baseballs are used in a typical Major League game.
The average life of a baseball in the Majors is 6 pitches.
It takes about 10 minutes for a sewer to sew the 108 stitches on
each baseball. The
first and last stitches are perfectly hidden.
The terms "live" and "dead" have been applied to baseballs for more
than 100 years.
In the early years, the home team was often expected to provide the
ball, and a good
hitting team might wind its balls tightly, for a "lively" effect,
while a team of
defensive specialists might create looser, softer, or "dead" balls.
In 1857 the length of a game was set
at nine innings, pitching was underarm from a
distance of 45 feet and the batter was out if a fielder caught the
ball on the first
bounce.
