1905 New York World Series Ring

Before the Series began, the Oakland Athletics also known as Philadelphia Athletics then were already at a major disadvantage.

For the Series, they were without the services of Rube Waddell, who was arguably their best pitcher that year.

Furthermore, the reason for Waddell’s absence was listed as a shoulder injury from some sort of ‘wrestling match’ with teammate Andy Coakley.

Though in years since some have speculated that Waddell was actually bribed or ‘paid off’ to fake the injury and thus not play in the Series.

However, Philadelphia manager Connie Mack, however, refused to believe this theory, finding it ridiculous.

McGraw had previously referred to the Athletics as a “white elephant”, which the club defiantly adopted as a symbolic mascot.

At the conference at home plate before Game 1, A’s team captain Lave Cross gave McGraw a wrapped package, which turned out to contain a toy white elephant.

McGraw responded with a last laugh, easily defeating the A’s in the Series. Claiming their first franchise World Series Ring.

The 2014 World Series was the 110th edition of Major League Baseball’s championship series.

Commonly played as a best-of-seven playoff involved the National League champion San Francisco Giants and the American League champion Kansas City Royals.

While the Kansas City Royals have home field advantage for the series as a result of the American League’s 5–3 victory in the All Star Game. The Royals swept a three game series with the Giants in Kansas City from August 8–10, winning 4–2, 5–0, and 7–4.

Furthermore, San Francisco Giants won Games 4 and 5, as they scored 11 runs in Game 4 and Bumgarner threw a complete game shutout in Game 5.

However, the Royals came back to win Game 6 as they scored 10 runs and shut out the Giants, forcing a Game 7. The Giants won Game 7, 3–2, behind timely hits from Pablo Sandoval and Hunter Pence. Bumgarner pitched five strong shutout innings in relief to clinch Game 7 and, ultimately, winning the world series ring on two days’ rest.

This is the second World Series in history to pit two wild card teams against one another, the other being the 2002 World Series between the Giants and the Anaheim Angels.

In addition, it is the first World Series to involve a team (let alone two) that played in the additional wild card game instituted in 2012.

Furthermore, it’s the second World Series since 2002 to go to seven games; the other being 2011.

Consequently, with the Giants winning they set the record for most postseason victories in a single postseason with 12.

Additionally, this is the first World Series in which both teams played in a play-in game (whether it is the wild-card game since 2012, or a tie breaker from 1994–2011) since the Division Series was added in 1994.

It is also the first time in World Series history that the opponents both had fewer than 90 wins in the regular season (excluding seasons when the schedule was cut short).
