In which year was the Baseball World Series first contested?
The Baseball World Series (commonly referred to as the Fall Classic) is the championship series of Major League Baseball (MLB). It is the final series of the MLB Postseason, and it is contested between the American League (AL) champion and the National League (NL) champion. It was first contested in 1903 between the Boston Americans and the Pittsburgh Pirates with the Americans winning overwhelmingly in five games. The series was originally a best-of-nine affair, but it was changed to a best-of-seven series in 1922 and has remained at that length to this day. The New York Yankees have won a record 27 World Series championships, followed by the St. Louis Cardinals with 11. The Los Angeles Dodgers are the only team to win the World Series in three different cities (Brooklyn, New York; Los Angeles, California, and Houston, Texas).
