Trivia: What was the first team to win the World Series?
St. Louis Browns
Boston Americans
Louisville Colonels
Baltimore Orioles
The correct answer is Boston Americans
So why is this answer correct? : It wasn’t until 1903 that the long-established National League granted equal status to the newer American League, and thus the World Series featuring the champions of both leagues was born. The inaugural event saw the Boston Americans (later known as the Red Sox) defeat the Pittsburgh Pirates five games to three in a best-of-nine series. The World Series was canceled the following year as the NL champion New York Giants refused to participate, though it resumed in 1905.
