Connie Mack's pitching aces outdueled Christy Mathewson, and Frank Baker
hit two crucial home runs to become "Home Run" Baker forever more, as the A's
avenged their 1905 Series loss to the Giants. Game One, though, belonged to
Matty and New York. Philadelphia scored first, but the Giants tied the game
with an unearned run in the fourth inning, and won it with two doubles in the
seventh, setting at naught Chief Bender's otherwise splendid 11-strikeout
performance.
The A's came back to take three in a row. In Game Two Eddie Plank held
the Giants to one run and Baker hit the first of his homers, breaking a tie in
the sixth with a two-run blast off Rube Marquard. The next day, the A's and
Jack Coombs handed Mathewson his first World Series loss. Both pitchers went
the distance in an 11-inning duel that saw Matty hold the A's scoreless
through eight, only to give up a game-tying home run to Baker in the ninth,
and two unearned runs in the eleventh. Coombs, meanwhile, pitched two-hit,
one-run ball through ten innings. In the last of the eleventh, a third Giant
hit and an A's error let in a second Giant run, but the rally died when Beals
Becker was cut down for the final out trying to steal second.
After a week of rain, Mathewson and Bender squared off in Game Four. The
Giants jumped on Bender for two runs in the first, and held the lead until the
fourth. But in the last of the fourth, three successive A's doubles and a
run-scoring fly put the A's in front to stay as Bender held New York scoreless
over the final 8 innings.
In Game Five, a three-run homer by the A's Rube Oldring off Rube Marquard
in the third provided the only scoring through 6 1/2 innings. But the Giants
crept back with one run in the seventh, and two more in the last of the ninth
tied the score. Plank replaced Coombs for the A's in the tenth and took the
loss as Larry Doyle led off with a double, took third on a missed force play,
and scored on Fred Merkle's fly to deep right.
After five closely contested games, Game Six was a laugher. It, too, was
close at first--tied 1-1 after 3 1/2 innings. But the A's scored four runs in
the fourth on singles and errors, once in the sixth, and seven times in the
seventh on a barrage of hits, an error, and a two-run wild pitch. Chief
Bender, who gave up only four hits and two unearned runs, was the beneficiary
of this largesse, taking his second win of the Series and giving the A's their
second consecutive world title.
