  • Constructing Baseball: Boston and the First World Series
    CONSTRUCTING BASEBALL: BOSTON AND THE FIRST WORLD SERIES Roger L Abrams* Societal cohesiveness is a condition precedent to the legitimacy of legal rules. Shared norms of behavior are learned characteristics. Perhaps in some small measure, the shared experience of baseball among millions of immigrants facilitated the emergence of a consensus within society that supported a common set of understandings. Even if it did not, it was still a "swell time" for those Americans-new and old-who witnessed the first World Series, a vital step in constructing the National Pastime. INTRODUCTION The 1903 World Series marked the first post-season tournament between the pennant winners of the National and American Leagues of baseball. After two years of bitter commercial warfare and a peace treaty signed before the 1903 season, the two major circuits of baseball clubs were ready for combat once again, this time on the field and not in the board offices. At the time, no one appreciated that this post-season event would be repeated annually-with but two interruptions- for a century. Outside of the cities of the two competitors, Boston and Pittsburgh, few took much notice. However, in those cities baseball fanatics were enthralled by the spectacle. The newspapers devoted banner headlines and multiple columns of print to the unfolding events on the diamond. They also focused on the crowds of spectators. Political, civic and business leaders * Dean and Richardson Professor of Law, Northeastern University School of Law. This paper is an excerpt from a work in progress, THE FIRST WORLD SERIES AND THE BASEBALL FANATICS OF 1903, to be published by Northeastern University Press in 2003.
