First World Series

 

First World Series

In October 1903, National League champion Pittsburgh played American League champion Boston in major league baseball’s first modern World Series. Boston won the best-of-9 series, 5 games to 3; prominent players included Pittsburgh’s Honus Wagner and Boston’s Cy Young. Games 4 through 7 were played near this site at Exposition Park, Pittsburgh’s home from 1891 to 1909.

I was just visiting, but noticed that Pittsburgh is full of these.
