1907 World Series

The Chicago Cubs swept the Tigers in the 1907 World series 4 games to none, and it looked like there would be similar results after the Cubs won the first two games, but as the series headed back to Detroit they made it a series, and for the second straight series it would go down to a winner take all Game 7.

The Tigers had a big fourth inning in Game 7, scoring four runs on singles by Davy Jones, Ty Cobb, Claude Rossman, Charley O'Leary, and a double by Boss Schmidt to take a 4-0 lead, and successfully held on as the Cubs came back to make it a game, but fell short 4-3 as Ed Siever won his first game of the series for the Tigers.

Ty Cobb was the Series MVP after hitting .387 with 3 RBI, along with 3 stolen bases.
