- Expansion teams struggled again, with lowly New Jersey having a particularly terrible time.
- Pete Hill's 73 stolen bases were a new record.
- Otto Hess's 1.01 ERA was the lowest ever, and he became the first man to throw 12 shutouts in a season.
- Rookie Harry Krause was the only man to strike out more than 180 hitters.
- Five pitchers threw no-hitters: Walter Johnson (Washington), Cy Morgan (New York), Bill Donovan (Brooklyn), Jake Weimer (Milwaukee), Casey Patten (White Sox).
- Ginger Beaumont (Pittsburgh) had a record 40-game hitting streak.

ALCS
- Boston defeated Cleveland, 4 games to 1.
- Ace Otto Hess was series MVP, winning two games, and allowing only two runs in sixteen innings of work.
- Boston won their sixth pennant, and the fourth in a row.
NLCS
- Pittsburgh defeated Brooklyn, 4 games to 3.
- Harry Lumley was the MVP, batting 11-30.
- Honus Wagner (Pittsburgh) went 9-28 with 4 RBI.
- Brooklyn won Game Five in sixteen innings.
- Buttons Briggs threw a complete game shutout in Game Seven to seal the series for the Pirates, and send them to their fourth World Series.

World Series

- Freddy Parent was World Series MVP. He batted 11-31, and drove home six runs.
- Otto Hess and Irv Young each took home a pair of victories for the Americans.
- Honus Wagner struggled, only going 6-30, with no RBI. Ginger Beaumont hit just .107 in the series for the Bucs, but he did knock in four scores.
- Boston has now won four consecutive titles, and five in total.

Off-Season
- New Jersey chose starter Russ Ford with the first pick.
- Louisville chose Zack Wheat at #2.
