The World Series has only been canceled twice; in 1904 and 1994.

In 1904, the World Series was in its infancy and largely unorganized. The newly-formed American League was still viewed by National League veterans as the "junior league", and it was too much for New York Giants manager John McGraw to handle. When they won the pennant in 1904, McGraw and the Giants refused to face the Red Sox in the World Series. The Giants ended up winning the World Series the next year, anyways.

1994 was a different story. Players had gone on strike because the unions could not agree on a new set of terms. Personally, I don't feel that it justifies a strike, but I don't have a time machine to go back and change what happened. The latter half of the 1994 season was cancelled. The Montreal Expos were a heavy favorite to win that year, and Tony Gwynn was also expected to hit .400 that year. Neither of the two would ever happen. In 2005, after years of decline, the Montreal Expos packed their things and headed out to Washington. Gwynn never batted .400 and retired in 2001.
