Enter the hunt for the Commissioner's Trophy

Although there were previous contests between the two dominant baseball leagues in America, the first proper World Series as we understand it was held between the Pittsburgh Pirates of the National League (NL) and the Boston Americans (Red Sox) of the American League (AL) in 1903. That game featured legendary pitcher Cy Young and was won in an upset by Boston, breaking the mythology of the mighty NL teams and its stranglehold on baseball bragging rights. There have been many memorable editions of the 'Fall Classic' but few are as fabled as the 1919 World Series between the Chicago White Sox and the Cincinnati Reds that produced the infamous 'Black Sox Scandal', which revealed a dark chapter of the sport's history. However, the majestic dynasty of the iconic New York Yankees would soon follow, one that ruled the sport for forty years and restored the honour of America's favourite pastime. If baseball is not your sport, you may enjoy the playoff action of the Super Bowl, Stanley Cup Finals or NBA Finals. World Series tickets are available now to purchase or for sale via StubHub.

The enduring legacy of the Fall Classic

Over the last thirty years, the prestige of baseball and its crown jewel, the World Series, has come under threat from the National Football League and its singular Super Bowl, which has become a global sporting phenomenon. In fact, even as its global outreach has grown over the decades, with the domestic audience not what it once was. Nevertheless, for many millions of Americans and the millions more in South America and in Japan, the baseball World Series is still as American as apple pie, even if it no longer wears the crown. It was the World Series, after all, that turned players like Billy Martin, Derek Jeter, Reggie Jackson and Kirk Gibson into legends. It is the only professional sport of its kind in the world where men chase bases around a circle dominated by a mound, pulverising cork balls with lumber bats, but it is played by talented professionals who are the best in the country, and when the sport's two best teams clash, it is sports action and drama at its finest.
