From 1903, when the series began, it has been played every fall except 1994. A labor strike canceled it that year. The reputation of the series was badly hurt in 1919. Eight members of the White Sox were accused of making a deal with gamblers to throw the series to the Reds. When the story came out, baseball’s commissioner suspended the eight players for life. The World Series has been marked with some special events. The Brooklyn Dodgers and the New York Yankees faced off in seven series in New York. Except for the series in 1955, the Yankees won the other six. The first time a World Series was won by a walk-off home run was in 1960. Pittsburgh Pirate Bill Mazeroski’s homer broke a 9–9 tie in the 9th inning of the 7th game against the Yankees. In 1956, Yankee Don Larsen pitched the only perfect game in World Series history. No Dodger reached first base. In 1977, Reggie Jackson hit three home runs on three consecutive turns at bat. He did it in the 6th game of a series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. In earlier years, Babe Ruth hit three home runs during a game in two different series. Babe also pitched for the Boston Red Sox to win two World Series titles in 1916 and 1918. Then he was sold to the Yankees and became a slugging outfielder. It would be the 21st century before the Red Sox would win another World Series. Interesting Places and Events Download 10.24 Kb.
