After the Cubs had lost the World Series in the previous year against city rivals White Sox , they prevailed in the 1907 World Series with 4-0 games against the Tigers and thus celebrated their first title win.
In the National League, the Boston Beaneaters appeared from 1907 under the new name Boston Doves .
