Standings - September 1, 1905

All signs are still pointing to a Cleveland/Pittsburgh series. The Pirates opened the gap a little as he hit Septmber and the Indians lead is the same (though the Orioles did get to within a gae and a half at one point during August).

1905 World Series

Rube Waddell shut down the Pirates in game one as the Indians led 2-0 going into the top of the 9th. After an error would eventually lead to the Pirates getting on the board with a wild pitch he would slam the door shut as the Indians take game one by a score of 2-1.

Game two would be almost a carbon copy of game one with Harry Howell shutting them down this time and the Indians win 2-1 to take a 2-0 series lead.

As we move to Pittsburgh one trend would continue. The Pirates would not score in the first 8 innings of the game. This time they would trail 11-0 but would score a meaningless two run for the 11-2 final. The Indians are now one game away from the championship.

The Pirates lead 6-4 going into the 9th inning behing Red Ames. Bill Bradley would reach on an error to lead off the 9th. Roger Bresnahan follows with a single. Claude Ritchey would triple as both runners score to tie the game 6-6. Two batters later pitcher Harry Howell would single home Ritchey to give the Indians a 7-6 lead. The game would be 7-6 going into the bottom of the 9th where Howell retired the Pirates in order and the Indans win the World Series.


Indians win World Series 4-0

1906 World Series

Cy Young starts for the Dodgers and rides an early lead to a 6-3 victory. Mike Donlin was 3 for 3 and only a homerun away from hitting for the cycle for the Dodgers.

Christy Matthewson was the story of the game in game 2 ad he throws a 4 hit shutout as the Dodgers win 2-0 and now lead the series 2-0.

Cy Young is back on the hill for the Dodgers in game three and his offense makes it easy for him. The Dodgers coast to a 10-2 victory and now are one game away from their first championship.

The Orioles solve Matthewson early and score 2 in each of the first two innings. They ride that lead to a 4-3 victoy in front of their home fans and now trail 3-1 in the series.

Cy Young pitches his way to a 6-1 victoy. Nap Lajoie added three hits for the Dodgers as they win their first championship.


The Dodgers win the 1906 World Series!

Standings - July 31, 1907

After the Orioles and White Sox started out leading the way in the AL the Indians cranked it up a notch and blew by everyone. They now have a 5 game lead as the calendar is about to turn to August.

In the NL the Phillies got off to their best start ever but the Dodgers got off to an even better start. At one point the Dodgers were 31-8. They have cooled off since that point but so have the Phillies who now drop to third behind the Pirates.

1907 World Series

Game one sees Waddell facing Mathewson. After the Indians took a 3-0 lead in the 3rd the Dodgers chip away and tie it in the 7th. In the bottom of the 8th a one out 2 run triple by Frank Chance gives the Dodgers a 5-3 lead. Matthewson hits Claude Ritchey with the first pitch of the 9th but then strikes out the next two batters before getting the final out on a pop up to short as the Dodgers win game one 5-3.

Jack Powell out duels Cy Young in game two as he shuts out the Dodgers 3-0 to even the series at 1-1.

Matthewson returns to the mound for game three and pitches his way to a 4-1 victory, his second of the series. The Dodgers lead 2-1 in the series with the road victory.

The Dodgers offense comes out to play in game 4 as they coast to a 9-2 victory. They now lead the series 3-1.

Game 5 goes into extra innings tied 1-1. In the top of the 13th Socks Seybold hits a 2 out RBI single to give the Dodgers a 2-1 lead. In the bottom of the inning Harry Howell goes into his 13th inning of work and after retiring the first batter he walks Roger Bresnahan for a one out baserunner. Howell is replaced by Rube Vickers to face Honus Wagner. After working a full count Vickers gets Wagner to hit into a series ending double play.


The Dodgers win the World Series 4-1

Standings - August 1, 1909

Both leagues have a dogfight for first. This could be the closest season yet. The Yankees got off to a historically bad 8-33 start (sub 200 winning percentage) but have since gone 30-33 (not great but much better than how they started).

Standings - September 1, 1909

The AL is still up for grabs but in the NL the Giants have stepped up and opened up a 6 1/2 game lead over the Reds (and a host of others close behind them). The only thing that seems certain is that the Dodgers will not win a 4th straight title.

In Game one the Giants would score three in the bottom of the first to take a 3-0 lead. The White Sox would whittle away at the lead and the game is tied 4-4 going into the 9th. In the top of the 9th a 2 out error would put Hooks Wiltse on second. Amby McConnell would follow with an RBI single giving the White Sox a 5-4 lead. Ward Miller would single to open the bottom of the 9th and then get sacrificed to 2nd. The next two batters would pop out and the White Sox win game 1 by a 5-4 final.

In game 2 the White Sox take a 3-1 lead into the bottom of the 9th. Chief Wilson would double in the bottom of the 9th but it would be sandwiched by strikeouts leading to 2 outs and a runner at 2nd. Bobby Burne would single and Wilson scores but a throwing error moves Burne to 2nd. Dots Miller would single home the tying run but the next better would fly out to send the game to extra innings. After a one out double by Dolly Gray Otto Knabe would single to give the White Sox a 4-3 lead and move to 2nd on the throw. After a strikeout for the 2nd out Joe Jackson would single and Knabe would try to score but would get thrown out at home to end the inning with the White Sox up 4-3. With one out Tom Downey would single. Chick Stahl would then hit into a game ending double play. The White Sox win 4-3 in 10 innings and have a 2-0 lead in the series as they head home for the next three.

The Giants would break out in game 3 with a 7-2 victory and make the series 2-1 as they try to get back into the series.

Dolly Gray would shut the Giants down in game 4 and hold them to just 4 hits in a 4-1 White Sox victory. The White Sox are one win away from the title.
