The World Series has taken place annually since 1903, with the exception of 1904 and 1994. The first World Series was the culmination of a bitter dispute between the new American League and the older National League. (The clubs went so far as to challenge each other to a game of football at the end of the 1902 season). The two leagues organized a series of post-season exhibition games between each other, with the two pennant winners (The [[Pittsburgh Pirates]] of the National League and the [[Boston Red Sox]] of the American League) squaring off. That series of games is considered the first World Series. [[Boston]] beat [[Pittsburgh]] five games to three. The win gave credibility to the American League and brought [[pride]] to Boston.
