Fast Facts

What happened to the 1904 World Series? The inaugural World Series of 1903 was a resounding success and represented the first step in healing the bruised egos of both the veteran National and fledgling American Leagues. Pittsburgh and Boston went head-to-head for eight games proving that great baseball between the two leagues was possible and that a merger would benefit the growth of the sport. Unfortunately, some owners still disagreed with the concept and in 1904, it was prematurely cancelled. John T. Brush, president of the National League champion New York Giants, refused to play the returning American League champion Boston Pilgrims. He was quoted as stating that he refused to compete with a "representative of the inferior American League". Surprisingly, Brush regretted the decision and later that year proposed to continue with the series as originally conceived. His about-face spawned the "Brush Rules," a set of guidelines relating to the on-field play and off-field finances of the World Series which exists to this day!

On October 10, 1920, during the fifth inning, Bill Wambsganss caught a line drive hit by Clarence Mitchell. He then stepped on second to putout Pete Kilduff and personally tagged Otto Miller who was coming from first. This unassisted triple play is probably the most amazing fielding feat to ever take place during any series game!

Did you know that through 2002, the American League has fifty-eight World Championships, the National League has forty World Championships, there have been three tie games, one-hundred five shutouts, one perfect game, and eleven instances where a team lost the first two games yet rallied to win the World Championship!
