World Series
The World Series is the annual championship series of Major League Baseball (MLB). The conclusion of the World Series marks the end of the MLB baseball season. Seven games are played, with the team that has won four games declared the winner. If a seventh game is necessary, it is played on the day following Game 6. Baseball’s best-of-seven playoff format originally accounts for all seven potential postseason games (five for division series, seven for league championship series, and seven for the World Series), but it has been extended or shortened on numerous occasions.
The first modern World Series was played in 1903 between the Boston Americans (now the Red Sox) and the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Boston Americans won that year’s series four games to three. In 1904, a new best-of-nine format was introduced. The Boston Americans became champions that year, winning in eight games over their cross-town rivals, the Boston Pilgrims (later to become the Red Sox).
