Junior World Series

The various iterations of the Junior World Series were played for most of the years of the 20th century, off and on depending on the fortunes of the various leagues involved.

Most often it was held between the champions of the International League (IL) and the American Association (AA).

The Junior World Series was superseded by the Triple-A Classic, held from 1988 to 1991.

Then, from 1998 to 2000, the Triple-A World Series pitted the IL and PCL champs (as the AA had folded in 1997).

In Game 2 of the 1956 Junior World Series, Roger Maris set a record with seven runs batted in.
