World Series Game 1 Victory for Fitzsimmons and Detroit
The Detroit Tigers started the World Series in style, downing the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates at Navin Field by a score of 8-1 to stake an early 1-0 lead in the best-of-7 series. Tigers right-hander Freddie Fitzsimmons threw 9.0 innings of 7-hit ball.
Ty Cobb helped his team take an early lead with a 2-run triple. It came in the first inning, making the score 2-1, Tigers.
"It was a good day, but I'm not letting my guard down," Cobb said. "I'll let my guard down as soon as someone puts a big, fat championship ring on my finger."
The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Navin Field in Detroit.
Tigers lead series 1-0

Game 2, October 8th, 1925, Navin Field
Tigers Surge Past Pirates to Take 2-0 Series Lead
The Detroit Tigers got a strong game from starter Virgil Barnes, but it was some clutch hitting that ultimately delivered the win.
The Tigers took the 6-5 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates in Game 2 of the World Series in a 9th inning walk-off. The win capped off a fine outing for the right-handed Barnes. Barnes threw 8.0 innings allowing 5 runs in the win, which gave the Tigers a 2-0 lead in the best-of-7 series.
The Tigers were down to their final out when third baseman William Marriott turned a 1-0 fastball from Howard Ehmke into a 2-run single. The walk-off single made the Navin Field crowd go wild.
"Things broke our way today and that's great," Tigers manager Rube Oldring said. "It's important, though, to stay focused and not pat yourself on the back too much. We aren't done yet."
Game 3 is scheduled for Saturday at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh.
Tigers lead series 2-0

Game 3, October 10th, 1925, Forbes Field
Road Win Lifts Detroit to 3-0 Lead in WS

Detroit starter Garland Buckeye was exceptional. The 6-foot-0 left-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits over 9 innings of work.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh.
Tigers lead series 3-0

Game 4, October 11th, 1925, Forbes Field
How Sweep it Is! Detroit Wins World Series
With a 11-8 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates tonight at Forbes Field, the Detroit Tigers wrapped up their 1st title in team history.
Detroit left little doubt who was the better club. "Team" was the word of the day as the Tigers celebrated the culmination of their banner year in the victors clubhouse following the game.
"Hitting, pitching, fielding; those are all things you need to win, but most importantly you need a team, a team that works together toward the same collective goal," said Detroit manager Rube Oldring. "Our players felt that way all year and they played that way. When one guy had an off day, 24 others stepped up their game and filled the void."
A jovial mood filled the air as Detroit celebrated into the night. The city's mayor said parade plans were underway and a "huge celebration" in the works.
"We're going to celebrate our team, our championship Detroit Tigers," the mayor said.
The champions completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the AL and a 85-69 record.
Tigers win series 4-0

World Series MVP: P Garland Buckeye (Detroit Tigers)

1926 World Series results

1926 World Series

Results

Game 1, October 2nd, 1926, the Polo Grounds
Road Win Lifts New York to 1-0 Lead in WS
Lefty Williams and the New York Yankees opened the World Series in brilliant fashion, traveling to New York and shutting out the host Giants at Polo Grounds, 2-0, to secure an early 1-0 lead in the best-of-7 series. Williams, the Yankees left-hander, threw 9.0 innings of shutout ball.
New York starter Lefty Williams was a master of his craft. The left-hander allowed no runs on 4 hits over 9 innings.
"It was a good day, but I'm not letting my guard down," Williams said. "I'll let my guard down as soon as someone puts a big, fat championship ring on my finger."
The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Polo Grounds in New York.
Yankees lead series 1-0

Game 2, October 3rd, 1926, the Polo Grounds
New York Tops New York Again, 7-4
With starter Rube Walberg leading the charge, the New York Yankees defeated the New York Giants, 7-4, in Game 2 of the World Series. The left-hander threw 9.0 innings of 8-hit ball at Polo Grounds to help New York take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-7 series.
New York used the timely hitting of Dave Bancroft to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Yankees on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.
"Things broke our way today and that's great," Yankees manager Jake Drauby said. "It's important, though, to stay focused and not pat yourself on the back too much. We aren't done yet."
Game 3 is scheduled for Tuesday at Yankee Stadium in New York.
Yankees lead series 2-0

Game 3, October 5th, 1926, Yankee Stadium
New York Breaks Through for First Win in World Series; Now Trails 2-1
Leave it to the veteran.
The New York Giants got a great start from 35-year-old left-hander Sherry Smith, as New York took the 4-3 win at Yankee Stadium over the series-leading New York Yankees. Smith threw 7.0 innings allowing 3 runs and helped New York close their deficit to 2 games to 1 in the best-of-7 series.
New York used the clutch hitting of Mickey Cochrane to snag the win. The catcher drilled a 3-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Giants ahead, 4-3. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a crucial one.
"There's nothing like the postseason," said Smith, "to ramp up the pressure."
The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Yankee Stadium in New York.
Yankees lead series 2-1

Game 4, October 6th, 1926, Yankee Stadium
Almost There: New York On Cusp of World Series Triumph After 8-3 Win
Riding the 3-hit performance of right fielder Johnny Mokan, the New York Yankees stopped the visiting New York Giants, 8-3, in Game 4 of the World Series. Mokan was 3-4 with 3 singles and a walk, while scoring 3 times for the Yankees, who now lead the best-of-7 series, 3 games to 1.
San Francisco, California-born Willie Kamm came through in the clutch. In the bottom of the seventh, with the bases loaded and the Yankees trailing 3-2, he hit a bases-clearing triple to right-center to put New York on top.
"We don't have much margin for error now," Giants manager Pete Sweeney said. "We need to figure out the problem and fix it, immediately."
The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Yankee Stadium in New York.
Yankees lead series 3-1

Game 5, October 7th, 1926, Yankee Stadium
New York Crowned Champions
Sometimes, the winner is the one who got the lucky bounces and the lucky calls, and sometimes the winner is just the one who played better.
It was the latter case in 1926, as the New York Yankees topped the New York Giants 2-1 tonight at Yankee Stadium to win the World Series. It was the 3rd title in franchise history.
"When you play for championships, you have to play better than the team in the other dugout. We did that in this series, and all year. Now, we're the best team in baseball," said New York starting pitcher Lefty Williams, who was named series MVP.
The Yankees took the series 4-1. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the AL and a 91-63 record.
New York manager Jake Drauby grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Williams's words.
"Lefty said it best -- we played better than the other team," the skipper said.
Hometown officials announced they were already planning a "grand celebration" for the winners in the days to come.
Yankees win series 4-1

World Series MVP: P Lefty Williams (New York Yankees)
(Hey, it beats being banned for life for throwing the 1919 World Series--Williams is a likely contender for the HoF in this sim, IMO...)
