Notes from 1902 World Series

• The St. Louis Cardinals win their first ever World Series.
• Hitting dominated this series with Emmet Heidrick putting up huge numbers over the six games.
• Cardinals ace and Top Pitcher candidate Bob Wicker was a no show for the series, giving up more than 6 runs in each of his 2 starts.
• Athletics hitting stars Socks Seybold and Nap Lajoie put up decent numbers but couldn't break out like Cardinals hitters.
• The Cardinals trailed two different times in this series, but were able to win the last three games to take the trophy back to St. Louis.
• Mike O'Neill pitched two complete games in his two starts to go 2-0 throughout the series.
