During its infancy, it was referred to as the "World's Championship Series," and the first appearance in print of the name occurred in the 1912 Reach annual guide.

The early participants, especially Pirates owner Barney Dreyfuss, are often given credit for the series but not necessarily the name. It's difficult to give any particular person credit for coining it, and the Reach guide gets the most credit.

The modern World Series has been an annual event since 1903, with the exceptions of 1904 and 1994. Baseball has employed various championship formulas since the 1860s. When the term "World Series" is used by itself, it is usually understood to refer to the "modern" World Series exclusively.

the World Series was instituted in 1905 as a permanent institution, through which the leagues would "meet annually in a series of games for the Professional Base Ball Championship of the World."
