1934 World Series

The Phillies send an immediate message to the young Browns, winning game one, 11-1. The Browns don’t back down though, as they take game two, 12-8. Browns ace Robert Griffith shuts down the powerful Phillie offense in a game three, 3-2 win.

Lou Gehrig and Mule Suttles both homer as the Phillies tie the series at 2, and Babe Ruth’s third home run of the series is the difference in a 7-5, game five Philly win. Facing elimination, Joe DiMaggio goes deep twice, and Hank Greenberg hits his first of the series, and the Browns force a deciding game SEVEN!

Russ Van Atta has been a good pitcher for St. Louis. His career ERA of 3.24 has been good enough to earn him 70 starts over the past 2 seasons, but his performance in this World Series has been dreadful. 2 starts, 2 losses, 14.1 innings, 23 hits allowed, 15 earned runs.

Barney Brown is the Phillies ace. He won 21 games this year, and put up a 9.3 WAR, which is 5th best for all pitchers in baseball. He’s 2-0, with runs allowed in 18 innings this World Series.

To me, everything suggests a Phillies win. Lets see what happens.

GAME 7

Lou Gehrig and Mule Suttles get the game started, each driving in a 1^st inning run, to go up 2-0.

Barney Brown, uncharacteristically, gives it back, allowing Pinky Higgins to tie the game with a 2 run shot in the 2^nd.

Jimmie Foxx gets a bases loaded single in the 3rd, to give Philly back the 4-2 lead. Gehrig then scores on a Mule Suttles single, and its 5-2 Philly after five.

Arky Vaughan and Joe DiMaggio give St. Louis some life, knocking in a run each, to cut the lead to 1 in the 7^th. The Phillies respond again though, scoring 3 more in their half of the inning, going up by 4.

Up by 3, going into the bottom of the ninth, Phillies manager Ed Cicotte pulls Barney Brown for Ernie Nevers, a pretty good reliever. This is what happened.

Wow! Somehow, the Browns tie game!! Amazing. They just won’t quit.

We head to extra innings, no scoring in the 10^th. The Browns get something going in the 11^th, but Hank Greenberg is thrown out trying to stretch a single into a double, and despite 3 hits, the Browns do not score.

Mule Suttles ends the season with a walk off 3 run home run!!! The Phillies take all the Browns can give, and show them they still got some baseball left in them old bodies. Mule Suttles is the hero!!
