1894 Experiment Becomes 1903 Official Game

       Cleveland -  In 1903 the Boston Americans won the Pittsburgh Pirates five to three.  In an effort to end a two-year rivalry and promote unity in baseball, the already established National League and newly established American League, decided to settle it with a new kind of season finale.
