Can you have a reference page to a World Series that did not get played? Perhaps there is a better Title for this page... Entirelybs 15:33, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
Can one make the case that the Americans won the Wortld Series by default since the Giants refused to play them? 66.31.76.221 ( talk) 18:54, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
According to Lee Allen in The National League Story (1961), the Giants had announced that they would refuse to play an interleague series, because John McGraw's former team, the AL Baltimore Orioles, had moved to New York, and, as luck would have it, the Yankees (yes, they were called Yankees then) lost the pennant on the last day, with Jack Chesbro losing a game by one wild pitch. After the Boston team had won the pennant, they offered to play the Giants in a series of games, but John T. Brush declined--it was too late. Dougie monty ( talk) 08:19, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
