1915...
Continuing with our Red Sox World Series recap ... The Red Sox third World Series title was the first featuring Babe Ruth on the Red Sox roster (he'd go 0-for-1 as a pinch hitter).
The Phillies, playing for the first time in the World Series (they wouldn't go again until 1950), fell four games to one, despite winning game one at the Baker Bowl behind the pitching of Grover Cleveland Alexander 3-1. The series was a close one: the Red Sox would win Games 2-4 each by the score of 2-1. Ultimately, the Red Sox won game five at the Baker Bowl 5-4 to capture the series. In five games the two teams combined for just 22 total runs. The Phillies Alexander allowed just three runs in 17 and 2/3 innings of work.
Interestingly, the Red Sox didn't play Games 3 & 4 at Fenway: they played them at the much larger Braves Field to accomodate the larger crowds.
I'll have some thoughts on Game Three and tonight's likely end to the series later on today...
