World Series TicketsThe first World Series took place in 1903. Holders of the first World Series tickets watched as the Boston Pilgrims, now called the Boston Red Sox, lost the game to the Pittsburgh Pirates. There was a total of nine games with the Pittsburgh Pirates winning 5 of them. In 1904, World Series tickets were not used, as the New York Giants refused to play against the Boston Pilgrims as was scheduled. This was a result of a feud between John T. Brush, owner, and John J. McGraw, manager of the New York Giants against Ban Johnson who was the founder and president of the American League. The following year, the New York Giants were the National League Champions once again. This time they agreed to play the American League Champions. In this year, 1905, holders of World Series tickets witnessed the New York Giants 5 wins against the Philadelphia Athletics, now called Oakland Athletics. In 1919, holders of World Series tickets witnessed history as seven players on the Chicago White Sox lost eight games on purpose. These seven players were bribed by professional gamblers to lose the series to the Cincinnati Reds. The seven players were banned from baseball for life for taking the bribe and an eighth player was banned for not reporting what he knew. One of the most exciting World Series events in recent years was the win by the Boston Red Sox in October of 2004. Many people valued their World Series tickets that year as they watched the Boston Red Sox make a historical come back during the World Series. The World Series continues to be a baseball event that you don't want to miss. The best way to experience this event is to be right where the action is. Baseball fans everywhere should exchange their TV remotes for a pair of World Series tickets. |
