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.

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 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.
