World Series History Precursor to the oddly named World Series were simply exhibition matches dating back as early as the 1880s between the National League (NL) and the American Association League.

The first World Series game as such, between the new American League (AL) and the NL, was in 1903 between the Pittsburgh Pirates (NL)  and the AL champions, Boston Pilgrims.

The rules have changed a little since 1880. The modern world series began as a best of nine format in 1903 (considered the first modern world series, although there were many “championships” played before that time in various formats) as a best-of-nine format.  It then switched to a best-of-seven for the 1905 series (the 1904 series was cancelled when the owner of the New York Giants refused to play the American League champion Boston Americans). See MLB.com,  Wikipedia  and The Baseball Page for more details.
