1913 - MLB Year In Review

The year's pennant races were as tight as a drum in both leagues. In the American League, Cleveland held a 2 game lead over New York, 2.5 games over Philadelphia, 3 games over Chicago and 6 games over defending Boston when September rolled around. With only ten games remaining, a different story had occured. The Red Sox got red hot and was now tied with Philadelphia while Cleveland was 2 games behind, New York 2.5 and Chicago 3. With only a few games to go, Boston had taken a 1.5 game lead over Cleveland while the Athletics were 2 back and the Yankees were 3. The Red Sox captured their fourth straight title on the next to last day of the season. The Boston offense was once again led by Tris Speaker, who led the league with a .330 average and was chosen the league's outstanding hitter as he also had 6 homers, 72 rbi and 40 stolen bases. The mound staff was led by ace pitcher Smokey Joe Wood, who finished second in the AL in wins (22) and first in strikeouts (235), while being awarded with the league's outstanding pitcher award. Philadelphia, who had been dumping some of their stars in a rebuilding mode, finished in second place, 2 games behind. The Mackmen were led at the plate by Frank Baker and rookie Bill "Duke" Kenworthy, who led the AL in runs batted in (108) and in runs scored (98) plus finished second in home runs (16), as he was awarded the AL's rookie of the year award. Cleveland finished 3 games back and in third place thanks to the hitting of Dutch Zwilling, who led the league in homers and was tied for second in RBIs.

The senior circuit also had a tight multi-team race as St.Louis lead by 4.5 games over Brooklyn, 5 over Philadelphia, 7 over New York and 9.5 over Boston, as September started. With ten games to go, the Cardinals' lead was down to 3 games over both the Phillies and the Giants, while Brooklyn and Boston started falling out of contention. With only a few games to go, the red hot Giants tied St.Louis and passed them the next day. New York won the NL title on the next to last day. Ben Houser and Ed Lennox led the way for the Giants as Houser was the NL's home run champ with Lennox finishing second in HRs and third in RBIs. St.Louis finished in second place, 2 games behind, thanks to the brilliant hitting of superstar Ty Cobb, who had set a major league record in average by batting a whopping .418 and also another one by hitting 29 triples. The "Georgia Peach" was awarded his fourth straight NL Outstanding Batter Award while finishing second in the league in RBI (94) and runs scored (110) plus finished third in stolen bases (59). The Phillies finished five games behind and in third place as pitcher Ed Hughes finished third in ERA (2.51) and won 20 games. Pittsburgh, which came out of nowhere to finish in fourth place, nine games behind, found a bargin in pitcher Grover Cleveland "Pete" Alexander. Alexander was released by Detroit late in 1912 and awarded the Pirates by leading the NL in ERA and in strikeouts.

During the World Series, the Boston Red Sox split the first two games with the Giants and then took a 2-1 advantage by winning game 3 behind ace Smokey Joe Wood. However, the bats of New York woke up and the Giants took the next three games by the scores of 7-2, 10-6 and 7-6 as Braggo Roth drove in Doc Gessler in the bottom of the ninth in game six to win the world's championship.

1914 - MLB Year In Review

Europe has broken out into war during the summer and the heat was on the baseball world to try to entertain the citizens. The National League pennant chase was once again a tight struggle as once again as many as five teams had a shot heading into September. The Philadelphia Phillies were leading by 2 games over Brooklyn, who had been coming on strong since August, and they were followed by Boston (5 games back), New York (7) and Pittsburgh (9.5). With a week and a half remaining the Robins had taken the lead by a single game over Philadelphia, followed by both the Braves and the Giants, who were both 3 games behind the front running Robins. Boston got on a hot streak and had passed Philadelphia with three games to go and with only a two game series left with Brooklyn, were only a game behind. The Robins defeated Boston on the next to last day of the season to clinch the National League's title. The Robins could thank the strong hitting of Benny Kauff and Beals Becker, along with their ace pitcher Walter Johnson for their title. Benny Kauff, who co-led the league in home runs (9) and finished second in stolen bases (56), was awarded the league's Outstanding Batter award for averaging .310 along with his 9 home runs and 65 RBIs. Walter Johnson led the NL in wins (26), strikeouts (240) and earned run average (1.66) to capture the pitcher's triple crown. The Boston Braves and the Philadelphia Phillies both tied for second place, 3 games behind the pennant winning Robins. The Braves were led at the plate by the NL's leading run driver, Hal Chase, and on the mound by pitcher Eddie Cicotte, who had a 2.17 ERA, good for third place in the NL, and also won 18 games.

The American League race showed none of the drama of a pennant race -- Philadelphia's rebuilding was now complete and they were expected to win, and win it they did rather handily. The Athletics machine grounded out 693 runs, tops in the league, as Bill "Iron Duke" Kenworthy, Frank Baker and rookie Happy Felsch provided the teeth of the Philadelphia attack. Cy Falkenberg provided the mound leadership with his 21 wins. The St.Louis Browns came in second, relying on good hitting to keep the team in contention. The heart of their lineup featured Vic Saier, who led the junior circuit with 11 home runs. The leader of the Browns' mound staff was 22-game winner Hippo Vaughn, who tied for the AL lead in wins and also finished second in the league with 191 strikeouts.

The World Series promised to be an easy Philadelphia win over Brooklyn and it was as they held the National League champions to only 13 runs in six games and won the series 4 games to 2.
