1910 Philadelphia Athletics (#13) 4, 1934 St. Louis Cardinals (#52) 3
MVP: Danny Murphy (Phi 1910) .393/.419/.571, 0 HR, 6 RBI
Game 1 was scoreless until the 7th inning, when the Cardinals scored both of their runs. Unfortunately for them, the A's scored 3 runs in the 9th, ending with a walk-off hit by Topsy Hartsel. Philadelphia continued their winning ways in Game 2 behind a 2-hitter pitched by Jack Coombs, and again in a dominant Game 3. It looked like the A's were on their way to a sweep, but St. Louis edged them out in Game 4, then won Game 5 in a 4-hitter by Tex Carleton, and then scored all 4 of their Game 6 runs in the 9th inning to force a final game. Philadelphia seemed to finally remember they were still playing this series in Game 7, scoring all of their runs in the first 2 innings, with Coombs shutting the Cardinals out until the 9th, when they scored their only run.
