World Series and Post Season GamesFrom 1884 to 1890 the league champions from the National League and the American Association played off in the Championship of the United States. There had been an (unofficial) end of season play off between the the two league's champions in 1882. These post-season series between the pennant winners ended when the AA was absorbed by the NL in 1891 (there were no end of season play-offs that year). In 1892 the NL ran a split season with the first half's winner playing the second half's winner. This lasted for one season, and in 1894 (there were no play-offs in 1893) the 1st and 2nd placed teams played off in the World's Championship Series for a trophy donated by William C. Temple. This lasted until 1897. The modern day World Series started in 1903 when the pennant winners of the NL and the AL agreed to a series play off for the World Championship (the World Series was not played in 1904 or 1994).
