A brief history of Major League Baseball

1869–1903From the first pros to the first Series

The Cincinnati Red Stockings become the first all-professional team in 1869, the National League (1876) and American League (1901) form, and the champions of each meet in the first World Series in 1903 — won by the Boston Americans.

1914–1919Black Sox and the live-ball era

Eight White Sox players are banned for life for throwing the 1919 World Series, and the introduction of a cork-centred ball in 1920 ushers in the power-hitting live-ball era — Babe Ruth's Yankees dynasty follows.

1927–1964The Yankees century

New York wins a record 27 World Series, headlined by the 1927 Murderers' Row, Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hit streak in 1941 and the Mantle-era dynasty that stretches to 1964.

1947Jackie Robinson breaks the colour line

Robinson debuts for the Brooklyn Dodgers, ending major-league segregation and changing the sport and the nation — he wins Rookie of the Year and, in 1949, the NL MVP.

1958–1969Expansion goes West

The Giants and Dodgers move to San Francisco and Los Angeles in 1958, and expansion plus the 1969 playoffs reshape the map — division winners meet in the first League Championship Series.

1994–1995The strike

A players' strike wipes out the World Series for the first time since 1904, and the labour dispute reshapes the sport's economics before interleague play arrives in 1997.

2004 & 2016The curses end

Boston wins its first title in 86 years after the famous 3–0 comeback against the Yankees, and the Cubs end a 108-year wait with a 10-inning Game 7 in Cleveland.

2020 – todayThe analytics and Ohtani era

Data-driven front offices rewrite pitching strategy, pitch clocks speed up the game in 2023, and two-way star Shohei Ohtani's 50–50 season powers the Dodgers to the 2024 crown — followed by back-to-back titles in 2025.

2026 World Series

The 122nd World Series — a best-of-seven between the American League and National League champions in late October 2026, after the Dodgers went back-to-back in 2025.
