- World Series
The First “True” Baseball World Series
For the first time ever, the best baseball players will be representing their corresponding countries in a recognized competitive event that will determine which country is King. Although Baseball is deemed as America's favorite pastime, you can rest assured that other countries will come ready to play and to be recognized as a worthy opponent.
Getting to the World Series
The main objective for any baseball team is getting to the World Series at the end of the season. Two teams, who have beaten out all other teams in the league, face off in a final few games to determine who is the best that year.
The World Series has been the annual championship series of the highest level of professional baseball in the United States and Canada since 1903, concluding the postseason of Major League Baseball. Since the Series takes place in October, sportswriters many years ago dubbed the event the Fall Classic; it is also sometimes known as the October Classic or simply The Series. It is played between the League Championship Series winning clubs from MLB's two circuits, the American and National Leagues. The World Series has been played every year since 1903 with the exception of 1904 (boycott) and 1994 (player strike). Though professional baseball has employed various championship formulas since the 1860s, the term "World Series" is usually understood to refer exclusively to the modern World Series.
