WORLD CHAMPIONS (BASEBALL)



The "World Series" in baseball always confused me, because only North

American teams were involved. The Little League World Series was always won

by Taiwan!

Paul Dickson is doing a revised BASEBALL DICTIONARY and I have to send

stuff. On page 424, it's stated that "1st 1884. First 'World's Championship

Series' held in New York, according to research conducted by the National

Baseball Library. Edward J. Nichols finds the term World Series in the 1887

_Spalding Official Base Ball Guide_."

I found this today in the New York Sun, 21 June 1871:



CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD.
