The 1904 World Series: New York Highlanders vs. Pittsburgh Pirates

Results

Game 1, October 14th, 1904, Exposition Park
World Series Game 1 Victory for Waddell and Pittsburgh
The World Series got off to a quiet start today, with the host Pittsburgh Pirates taking a low-scoring 2-1 win over the New York Highlanders. Pittsburgh left-hander Rube Waddell was marvelous at Exposition Park. The Pirates now hold a 1-0 lead in the best-of-7 series.
Waddell pitched a complete game for Pittsburgh. The left-hander was charged with 1 run on 7 hits. He struck out 10 during his 131-pitch performance.
"There's nothing like the postseason," said Waddell, "to ramp up the pressure."
The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Exposition Park in Pittsburgh.
Pirates lead series 1-0

Game 2, October 15th, 1904, Exposition Park
Pirates Rally Past Highlanders to Claim 2-0 Series Lead
The Pittsburgh Pirates got a strong game from starter Jack Chesbro, but it was some clutch hitting that ultimately delivered the win.
The Pirates took the 4-3 win over the New York Highlanders in Game 2 of the World Series in a 9th inning walk-off today. The win capped off a fine outing for the right-handed Chesbro. Chesbro threw 9.0 innings of 4-hit ball in the win, which gave the Pirates a 2-0 lead in the best-of-7 series.
Monte Beville was the walk-off hero for Pittsburgh. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Pirates catcher hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.
"Things aren't going great right now," New York manager John McGraw said. "But you don't need me to tell you that."
The next game is set to be played for October 17th, 1904 at Hilltop Park in New York.
Pirates lead series 2-0

Game 3, October 17th, 1904, Hilltop Park
Pirates Win to Extend Series Lead to 3-0
The Pittsburgh Pirates got an exceptional performance from starter Del Mason, who silenced the New York offense en route to a 4-0 shutout win in Game 3 of the World Series today. The Highlanders could never get a bead on the right-handed Mason, who threw 9.0 innings of shutout ball. The Pirates now hold a 3-0 advantage in the best-of-7 series.
Mason, who was born in Newfane, New York, threw 106 pitches over 9 innings, while allowing no runs.
"We lost," New York manager John McGraw said later. "We'll deal with it. The series isn't over."
The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Hilltop Park in New York.
Pirates lead series 3-0

Game 4, October 18th, 1904, Hilltop Park
Pittsburgh Sweeps Highlanders
The Pittsburgh Pirates are champions, today and forever. The Pirates topped the New York Highlanders 3-2 at Hilltop Park today to claim the World Series crown.
"Nobody can take this away from us, not ever," said series MVP and starting pitcher Del Mason after his club had sealed the victory. "We worked hard and we accomplished our goal."
The atmosphere was electric as the newly-crowned champs stormed the field at the conclusion of the game. Fans cheered, gloves flew in the air, high fives and hugs were the order of the day.
"From day one of spring training, I could see it in their eyes," said Pittsburgh manager Fred Clarke. "The players had that look of intensity, of hunger, of a desire to accomplish something great, and today they did that. They're champions of the world."
The Pirates took the series 4-0. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the NL and a 102-52 record.
Pirates win series 4-0

Series MVP: P Del Mason (Pittsburgh Pirates)
