Santo's .313 with a home run was not enough to carry Baltimore into the World Series in 1919.

Even the pitching of Jerry Koosman, Atlee Hannamaker and Bobby Shantz was not enough.

Mo Vaughn hit .500 with 10 hits and 3 homers for the Oklahoma City Cowboys who defeated the Orioles 4 games to 1.

In the NL, Rennie Stennett had 10 hits, and Harvey Haddix hit two home runs and won two games, and the Denver Broncos defeated Pittsburgh in 6 games.

The Cowboys rode the Broncos (too good a pun, sorry), 4 games to 2 to win the World Series. Eddie Collins hit .458 in the series.
