I have a book entitled, "The World Series - A Complete Pictorial History", by John Devaney and Burt Goldblatt, and the writers talk about this. How McGraw wouldn't let his Giants play the inferior New York Highlanders, and how this led to the formation of the National Commission and agreement for each league to play an annual World Series beginning in 1905.
