1914 Season: President's Cup Series

For the first time, it's not the Pittsburgh Arsenal against the New York Giants. The 1914 Presidents Cup Series will see the Brooklyn Robins face off against the Chicago Packers.

While both teams have great offenses, it's their pitching that has really gotten them to this point. Brooklyn is led by SP Roger Browder, who pitched to the tune of a league-leading 2.66 ERA, while Chicago's ace is SP Jay Leonhardt, whose 2.53 ERA led the United League.

The promise of a pitcher's duel kind of series was completely broken in Game One, as the Brooklyn Robins came to bay 48 times, hitting safely 24 times, and scoring a whopping TWENTY-EIGHT RUNS!! Their offense came alive again in game two, though less dramatically, winning 7-2.

Chicago made it close in the end, but the Brooklyn Robins take the series, 5 games to 3!
