1912 WORLD SERIES

9/23/1912 - GAME 1 RED SOX 5 - GIANTS 8


Both teams were contentious throughout this messy game, with each team commiting 3 errors. Sammy Strang was ejected in the 5th for arguing a called 3rd strike, and whispers of favoritism on the part of the umps have begun to circulate. Above it all, Christy Mathewson just rolled right along and does what he always does....win in the postseason.

9/24/1912 - GAME 2 RED SOX 3 - GIANTS 6

Joe Jackson went 3 for 4 with 2 RBI for the Red Sox in a lost cause as Ed Walsh held the rest of his team at bay. Walsh even helped his own cause with 2 RBI of his own.

9/26/1912 - GAME 3 GIANTS 9 - RED SOX 11

The Giants outhit the Sox 15-12 in the first game back in Boston, but 4 errors and an off day from Jim St. Vrain sunk them in this high-scoring affair. Amos Strunk had 3 hits and 4 RBI in the win.

9/27/1912 - GAME 4 GIANTS 9 - RED SOX 0

Christy Mathewson gave the Red Sox a whupping and the Red Sox defense took their turn at the error trough with 5. Bill Sweeney knocked in 3 for the Giants.

9/28/1912 - GAME 5 GIANTS 9 - RED SOX 3

Doc Miller gets 4 RBI and Ed Walsh shackles the Red Sox yet again, sending the Boston fans home without dessert and sealing the deal on the Giants' 3rd consecutive championship.
