2007 World Series - Who's it gonna be?

Every year, the major focus in any professional sport is the race for the champion’s title. Each sport has its pinnacle trophy, but probably none of them is as coveted as baseball's World Series. This event is as important as any other holiday on the calendar in the United States. In fact, it is as patriotic as the Fourth of July, as traditional as Thanksgiving day, and as anticipated as Christmas. Over the last decades, the World Series has become an integral part of American culture evolving far beyond a mere baseball championship. It has become the sport of all sports, and continues to provide us with countless magical moments.

Although the "Fall Classic" as we know it now didn't begin until 1903, MLB had had several versions of a post-season championship series long before that. In 1884, the Providence Grays won the game against the New York Metropolitan Club of the American Association in a 3-game series, originally called "The Championship of the United States." Several newspapers then named the Grays as "World Champions" and that is how the new title appeared. Over the next decade, some variations took place between the NL and American Association pennant-winners, ranging from 6 to 15 games in length. The NL absorbed 4 of the American Association's former franchises thus expanding to 12 teams in an effort to promote the popularity of the game and maintain the public's interest to baseball. The National League played a split season, in which the first-half winner played against the second-half winner for the championship. Many baseball fans didn’t support the newly adopted system and the split season was dropped in 1893.

The following year, Pittsburgh's owner William C. Temple offered a championship trophy to the team that would become the winner of a best-of-seven-game series between the NL's 1st and 2nd-place teams. He also stated that the winning franchise would get 65% of all ticket sales, the losing team would receive 35%. William C. Temple's great idea lasted for the next 3 years and helped to build the foundation for the game’s post-season popularity. New changes were on the horizon. In 1901, the AL was established, much to the dismay of the senior circuit. All of a sudden, baseball found itself engaged in a "civil war" because two rival baseball leagues competed separately for the fan's attention and loyalty. In 1903, a truce, previously known as the "National Agreement", was redefined. It outlined baseball's salaries, employment, and travel requirements. This compromise produced the business blueprint for MLB and resulted in a merger that has lasted to the present day.
