- The very first World Series game to be played was in 1903 between the Boston Americans and the Pittsburg Pirates. Boston won the series 5 games to 3. The games weren't even called the World Series yet, rather an experimental post-season championship.
- Leading all other teams in baseball, the New York Yankees boast 26 World Series championships.
- Mickey Mantle, the former Yankee right-fielder, still holds the record for most home runs and RBIs in a World Series event at 18 and 40, respectively.
- In 2002, the All-Star game was called off after an eleven inning tie due to a shortage of pitchers.
- Cal Ripken Jr, the Baltimore Orioles shortstop, never missed a game in sixteen years.
- Cinncinati Reds' Pete Rose holds the record for most games plays and most hits at 3,562 and 4,256 respectively. He probably made a lot of money gambling on the games in that time.
- Nolan Ryan struck out more batters than anyone in baseball.
- Barry Bonds, San Francisco's outfielder, won the National League's MVP award 7 times.
- Connie Mack, manager of the Oakland A's, has 3,755 career wins under his belt--more than any other.
- The baseball hall of fame is in Cooperstown, New York. It was erected in 1935 to commemorate baseball's 100th birthday.
