Talk:City Series (Philadelphia)

Chicago
According to West Side Grounds, Chicago too had an annual City Series. How did this work? Was it a pre-season competition? Did it occur during some mid-season break in the schedule (back in the days before the All Star Game)? Did this occur (as I would imagine) in any of the other cities with multiple teams? If so, what did the other teams do during this period? This article needs this information.

Cities with multiple major-league teams (1904-54):
 * Philadelphia (Athletics and Phillies)
 * St Louis (Browns and Cardinals)
 * Chicago (White Sox and Cubs)
 * Boston (Braves and Red Sox)
 * New York (Yankees, Giants, and Dodgers)

Cities with only one team at this time:
 * Cleveland, Cincinnati, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Washington

 * Okay according to this article, the Cubs and Sox met in a postseason City Series in 1941, and it seems to imply that it was a recurring event. -- χγʒ͡ʒγʋᾳ (talk) 17:45, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Rivalry Box
We should have a rivalry box put up between the two teams similar to other rivalry articles (Giants-Dodgers rivalry, Yankees-Giants rivalry, Yankees-Dodgers rivalry, etc). The current logos of both the A's and the Phillies should be on top and the original logos of when the teams first started the rivalry should be there too. This needs to be a work in progress. 161.185.151.150 (talk) 17:00, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Retrosheet coverage
See "Regional Postseason Series" at Retrosheet.

Those series, including three matching Cleveland and Cincinnati, were official&mdash;sanctioned by Baseball. They exclude preseason (none sanctioned), mid-season (none sanctioned), and unsanctioned postseason games matching the same teams. --P64 (talk) 01:21, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Factual Inconsistency
In the second paragraph of the introduction, it reads "The first City Series was held in 1883 between the Phillies and American Association Philadelphia Athletics." However, in the second section, it reads "The first City Series game was played on April 9, 1903 at Baker Bowl".Robert1010102 (talk) 14:14, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
