1905 World Series

The reign of terror is over! The Boston Americans are no longer the champions! But will the New York Giants be able to get revenge by beating the Philadelphia Athletics, or will the A's prove that the AL is in fact superior? It's the two greatest managers of all time - John McGraw vs. Connie Mack - in this 1905 throwdown!

NOTE: In the real series, the Philadelphia Athletics scored only 3 runs, all of them unearned.

ATHLETICS WIN SERIES, 4-2
Series MVP - Eddie Plank (2-0, 2 CG)

AL 3, NL 0. Not the way many historians planned it to go. At this point in real life, it was AL 1, NL 1. The pure dominance of Eddie Plank (PHI) has earned him MVP honors. He went 2-0 and got 2 complete games. Not very many pitchers get 2 complete games all season these days. However, second place surely belongs to Socks Seybold (PHI) for becoming the first player in World Series history to hit 2 home runs in a series.
NEXT TIME ON WORLD SERIES REDO - The Chicago Cubs take on the Chicago White Sox in a "Subway Series" of sorts! Don't miss out on the chance to see if the AL really is superior!
