Owing to business rivalry between the two leagues, especially in New York, and to personal animosity between Giants manager John McGraw and American League President Ban Johnson, the Giants declined to meet the champions of the "junior" or "minor" league. McGraw even went so far to say that his Giants were already the World Champions since they were the champions of the "only real major league".
Giants' manager John McGraw refused to play a championship against a league he considered completely inferior to his own league. The next year his team won the World Series in five games, with the Philadelphia Athletics getting a grand total of three runs in that Series -- so perhaps McGraw had a point!
