Wrigley Field was the only ballpark featured in iconic films including Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, A League of Their Own, and Disney’s Rookie of the Year for the generation that grew up in the 1980s and 1990s. The series is also known as the Fall Classic since it takes place throughout the fall season in North America. The Commissioner’s Trophy is presented to the victorious team in the World Series championship game, which is decided by a best-of-seven playoff. The World Series is the annual championship series of Major League Baseball in the United States and Canada, which has been played since 1903 between the American League (A.L.) and National League (N.L.) champion teams. It is one of two major senior baseball events sanctioned by the WBSC, but it is the only one that awards the title of “World Champion” to the winner. Major League Baseball, the Major League Baseball Players Association, and other professional baseball leagues and their players’ associations from across the world submit it to the IBAF. The World Baseball Classic (WBC) is an international baseball event hosted by Major League Baseball and was sanctioned by the International Baseball Federation (IBAF) from 2006 to 2013 and the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) after that. If a game between two teams is scheduled to be played for the last time in the last two weeks of the season and is canceled, the game may not be rescheduled if it has no bearing on the divisional or wild card standings. Rainouts and other cancellations are frequently rescheduled at the last minute during the season, occasionally as doubleheaders. The road games of a team are normally organized into a multi-series road trip, whereas the home series are organized into homestands. Teams will play a total of 27 weekend series and 25 mid-week series for a total of 52 series due to the mid-week all-star break in July. Mid-week series games are normally planned between Monday and Thursday, whereas weekend series games are usually scheduled between Thursday and Monday, depending on the duration of the series. Each week, teams compete in one midweek series and one weekend series. Three or four-game series are the most common, but two-game series are often arranged. Pairs of teams are seldom scheduled to play single games against each other (except in the case of making up a postponed game or, more rarely, a one-game playoff to determine a postseason berth) instead, they play games on several consecutive days in the same ballpark due to travel concerns and the sheer number of games. The regular season is almost always broken up into multiple series of three or four games against the same opponent. Theoretically, a team could play a maximum of 20 postseason games in one year provided they’re a wild card team and each of their playoff rounds reaches the maximum number of games (five games in the Divisional Round, seven games in the League Championship series, and the World Series). The season begins on the official Opening Day in late March/early April and ends on the final Sunday in September or the first Sunday in October. The regular season lasts from late March/early April to late September/early October, with the postseason possibly lasting until early November. The Major League Baseball ( MLB) season consists of 162 games played over about six months by each of the 30 teams, for a total of 2,430 games. ![]()
