Pittsburgh Pirates (106-48) v Philadelphia Athletics (89-65)
Best-of-seven, Pirates with the home-field advantage.

It would be easy to look at the two clubs’ respective regular season records and think this is a done deal. It would also be foolish and, for us, dangerous in the extreme.

This is an excellent A’s squad they have put together, with Johnny Mize seemingly the piece that has pushed them over the top after being in the wilderness for so long. He, Bob Johnson and Wally Moses provide the majority of their offence, but they have plenty of others who can hurt you as well. The loss of Rosey Davis is a big one, but if young Leon Day can swallow his nerves it becomes less so. And, of course, they have the mighty Lefty Grove.

We go into this series primed, but that can also leave you vulnerable on so many levels. We simply need to go out there and play like we usually do and I feel confident we’ll get the job done.
