1906 By The Numbers
Cleveland Naps win their 5th WS title. The New York Giants are the only other team with 5. Each team has won at least one.

Records Set
No new Records

Accomplishments
3 No Hitters, Ginger Clark (Cincinnati), Watty Lee (Chicago Cubs), and Wiley Piatt (Cleveland)
Cy Young (Washington) 450th win
Jim Handiboe (Boston Beaneaters) 400th win
Fred Clarke (Cleveland) 2500th hit
Nobody had a 20 or more game hitting streak

Cy Young and Jim Handiboe are the only active pitchers with more that 250 wins. Closest is Jesse Tannehill (Brooklyn) with 240.
