It could be argued that the Super Bowl has surpassed the World Series as the ultimate sports event, but there are still plenty of sports fans who would gladly choose World Series tickets over Super Bowl tickets. And there is a good reason for that – a single football game just cannot match the drama and unpredictability of a potential seven-game baseball series.
For more than a century, the World Series has matched the champion of the American League against the champion of the National League, and now there’s a new twist with the winner of the MLB All-Star Game earning home field advantage for the “Fall Classic.”
Quite a bit has changed since the first modern World Series in 1903, when the Boston Americans beat the Pittsburgh Pirates in a best-of-nine series that ended with a strikeout of the great Honus Wagner. Amazingly, there was no 1904 World Series because the NL champion New York Giants refused to face the “inferior” AL champion Boston Pilgrims. And then there was the infamous 1919 “Black Sox” scandal, when several key players on the Chicago White Sox allegedly threw the World Series. There were actually a few tie games in the early World Series, and it is believed some of those early championships were even rigged to go up to nine games because players shared in the ticket receipts.
Thankfully there are no problems like that now; just the problem of finding World Series tickets. That’s why many fans prefer to purchase complete, worry-free World Series packages with game tickets, hotel accommodations and airfare.
You can bet that all the Boston Red Sox fans who had World Series tickets in 2004 will never forget the incredible experience of finally watching their team break the curse and bring home a championship, especially when they can remind New York Yankees fans about the remarkable American League Championship Series of that year. That Red Sox win certainly gave some hope to the tortured Chicago Cubs fans that their day might finally come. No matter what team you support, you won’t want to miss the chance to see the World Series.
