Despite the early World Series championships sometimes featuring best-of-nine series (1903, 1919 and 1921) and the allowance of tied games (called on account of darkness; no electric lights!) in pursuit of getting one team to 4 wins, there was never a Game 9 in the history of the Fall Classic. There were several Game 8s, but never a Game 9.
When you think of the excitement that modern day Game 7s hold (in the MLB, NHL and NBA), just imagine what a Game 9 would have been like!
