Question of the Day: 1903 World Series

The first modern World Series took place in 1903, establishing what would become baseball's most prestigious annual event. The Boston Americans, now known as the Red Sox, defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates five games to three in the best-of-nine series.

Hall of Fame pitcher Cy Young starred for Boston during the series, helping establish the franchise's winning tradition. This historic matchup between the American and National League champions began over a century of Fall Classic tradition.
