who won the first world series?

Boston Pilgrims (Red Sox) over the Pittsburg (they spelled it that way back then) Pirates, five games to three, (played best-of-nine) in 1903.  The next year, there was no world series due to a conflict between the American and National Leagues' Commissioners (This was before they united under Major League Baseball.) The next missed World Series was in 1994, due to the strike. This was the last year the Pittsburgh Pirates hosted the All-Star Game (They will host it again in 2006.).  Ten years later, in 2004, the Red Sox reverse the "Curse of the Bambino" in four games, a sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals, after coming from behind 3-0 in the ALCS to the New York Yankees, winning the pennant 4 games to three.

First of all it is NOT a tournament.\n\nSecond, The Championship of Baseball has ALWAYS been called The World Series since it's inception in 1903.\n\nThat is the way it has ALWAYS been, and will ALWAYS be.

Amazingly, amongst these two teams each the only to win at least 10 World Series championships, the Cardinals beat the Yankees in 1926, 1942, and 1964 (interesting, isn't it? 1's, 9's, 2's, 4's, and 6's) while the Yankees only won in 1928 and 1943. Also, if you did not know, in the current decade (20-otts), the Yankees (2000, 2001, 2003) and Cardinals (2004, 2006) are the only teams to play in multiple World Series.

The World Series began in 1903.  At that time, the entire baseball world was the U.S.  We've kept the name because of inertia/tradition/laziness or whatever reason you like.

What first game?  Be more specific.

I think that the 1919 Chicago White Sox were the best team ever.  They had the line-up, pitching, and chemistry to win the series, they just took money to lose it, thus breaking up the dynasty.  Also check out the movie Eight Men Out.  That depicts this story very well.

Well, I agree with the playoff teams, but I don't see either of those teams in the "World" Series. It's a rematch of the 1968 "World" Series. St. Louis Cardinals and Detroit Tigers.

The 1980 World Series matched the Philadelphia Phillies against the Kansas City Royals, with the Phillies winning in six games to capture the first World Series title in franchise history.

Uruguay won the first World Cup in 1930

That would be the Cubs of 1906, not 1916, who went 116-36, easily the best W/L Percentage of any Major League team ever (after 1900)\n\nThe Cubs lost the World Series that year to the cross-town White Sox, in a major upset...the Cubs would go on to defeat Ty Cobb and the Tigers in the World Series' of 1907 and 1908, but as we all know, they haven't won a W.Series since...

Pro Baseball?\n\nWell, the 1st pro baseball team were the Cincinnati Redstockings (Reds) which declared themselves "Professional" in 1867 but there wasn't a rival league until 1882.\n\nStatistics weren't accurate nor kept/recorded during this time frame.

The name is World Cup.\n\nWorld Series would be something local to the US (like the baseball)   ;-)\n\nThe final would be held in July 9th, and the champion will be Brazil.
