The World Series began, like the Super Bowl, as an exhibition between the established league, the National League, and the upstart league, the American League. Then World Series tickets were as much about justifying the existence of the new, younger league as they were about watching two of the best battle. The first few years were met with excitement from the fans and disdain from the National League owners. In 1904, the winner of the National League Pennant, the New York Giants refused to even play the American League champion, the New York Highlanders, because of such disrespect for the AL.

Ironically, after the World Series established itself as an undeniable part of baseball, it would be the Highlanders in their modern reincarnation as the New York Yankees who would deny the Giants the World Series trophy five times and would go on to win it 26 times themselves.
World Series tickets have become the focus of every fan every season. For decades Red Sox and White Sox suffered in pursuit of another World Series victory. It was only after the turn of the 21st century that these teams were able to overcome a team folklore (the Curse of the Babe for Boston and the Black Sox for Chicago) that supposedly reincarnated itself every season, keeping the fans and players from ultimate victory.
Other teams have become national phenomena because of their troubles. Millions of fans around the country and the globe have become endeared with the Chicago Cubs because of their never-ending futility. Whether you blame an angry Greek and his goat or bad management, sports fans have found a common bound rooting for the eternal underdog, hoping for World Series tickets to see the beleaguered franchise finally put an end to a culture of misery.
The World Series is the sole focus of October. The first half of football season and the beginning of basketball and hockey season take a back seat as the nation watches each game on the World Series schedule and hopes for tickets to brag about the game to their friends. Childhood memories have been made in this series as the leaves turn shades and generations have found a link when their politics and pop culture only help widen the gap.

The Philadelphia Phillies will try and add their second World Series in their 126 year history while the Tampa Bay Rays will try and add their first in their brief 11 years. This is the battle of two teams trying to change their team culture. The Phillies are battling years of futility and a demanding fan base and the Rays are trying to keep a fan base that just had to get used to not finishing in last place in high spirits. This World Series brings two teams at historic crossroads together for what should be a tremendous slate of games.
