L'«ère moderne du baseball» s'amorça en 1901, lorsque la Ligue américaine naquit en tant que rivale à part entière de la Ligue nationale qui existait depuis 1876. La Série mondiale a été disputée pour la première fois en 1903 et l'a été depuis entre les champions de l'Américaine et ceux de la Nationale, sauf en 1904 parce que John McGraw des Giants refusa d'affronter les champions de la nouvelle ligue. 2, record 2, French, - S%C3%A9rie%20mondiale
