The World Series is the championship series of Major League Baseball and
the culmination of the sport's postseason each October. Since the Series
takes place in mid-autumn, sportswriters many years ago dubbed the event
the "Fall Classic". The St. Louis Cardinals are the current (2006) World
Series champions.
The World Series is played between the winners of the American League
and National League, which currently includes 30 clubs based in certain
U.S. and Canadian cities. The modern World Series has been an annual
event since 1903, with the exceptions of 1904 and 1994. Baseball has
employed various championship formulas since the 1860s. When the term
"World Series" is used by itself, it is usually understood to refer to
the "modern" World Series exclusively.
The World Series championship is determined through a best-of-seven
playoff. Best-of-seven has been the format of all the modern World
Series except in 1903, 1919, 1920 and 1921 when the winner was
determined through a best-of-nine playoff. The Series winner is awarded
the World Series Trophy, as well as individual World Series rings.
The New York Yankees have played in 39 of the 102 Series up to and
including 2003 and have won 26 World Series championships, which is far
more than any other Major League franchise. The St. Louis Cardinals have
won ten championships, which is the second most all time and the most
for any National League team. The Cardinals also hold a 3 Series to 2
edge against the Yankees in Series play, the only one of the "classic
eight" National League teams to lead the Yankees overall.
The first modern World Series was held between Boston of the American
League and Pittsburgh of the National League in 1903. Boston won the
series 5 games to 3, helping to establish the new league's credibility.
However, the next year, the National League champion New York Giants
refused to play the American League champions (Boston again) because of
the alleged "inferiority" of the American League, along with the
legitimate claim that there were no formal or standard rules for this
championship (a factor which had helped kill the 1880s version of the
Series). In response, the World Series was instituted in 1905 as a
permanent institution, through which the leagues would "meet annually in
a series of games for the Professional Base Ball Championship of the World.
