The 1903 World Series, the first modern World Series to be played in Major League Baseball, matched the Boston "Americans" against the Pittsburgh Pirates, with Boston prevailing five games to three.

He won three of his games, but it was not enough to overcome the club from the new American League. Boston pitchers Bill Dinneen and Cy Young led Boston to victory. Managers: Jimmy Collins (Boston), Fred Clarke (Pittsburgh)

  • The 1903 World Series, the first modern World Series to be played in Major League Baseball, matched the Boston "Americans" against the Pittsburgh Pirates, with Boston prevailing five games to three. Pittsburgh pitcher Sam Leever injured his shoulder while trap-shooting, so his teammate Deacon Phillippe had to pitch five complete games for Pittsburgh. He won three of his games, but it was not enough to overcome the club from the new American League. Boston pitchers Bill Dinneen and Cy Young led Boston to victory. Although much was made of the influence of the Boston "Royal Rooters", Boston only won two out of four at home and three of four at Pittsburgh. The Pirates' benevolent owner Barney Dreyfuss added his share of the gate receipts to the players' share, so the losing team's players actually finished with a larger individual share than the winning team's. The Series would bring the new American League prestige and proved it can beat the best of the National League, thus leading to future World Series competitions. Managers: Jimmy Collins (Boston), Fred Clarke (Pittsburgh) Umpires: Hank O'Day (NL), Tommy Connolly (AL)
