1901 World Series

Few people believed any AL team could hold its own against a team from the NL. So almost no one gave Detroit any chance against the Phillies in this first league championship. However, the Tigers took a 3-1 lead on Doc White and the Phillies in the 3rd inning. The lead was short lived though as the Phillies scored 4 runs off Alex Jones in the 4th. Jones only lasted 2 more innings, allowing 7 runs off 10 hits and 4 walks in 6 innings as Detroit lost to Philly 12-5.

In Game 2, Bill Vinton gave up just 2 runs off 9 hits while the Philly offense tagged Roscoe Miller and the Tigers for 10 runs. In Detroit, the Phillies won 8-3 and neared a sweep.

The Tigers led Game 4 4-1 after 5 innings. The Phillies then scored a run in the 6th and 2 more in the 8th to tie the game. But in the bottom of the 8th, catcher Al Shaw hit an RBI single to put Detroit back on top 5-4. 3B Doc Casey missed a squeeze bunt and Tommy McCarthy was tagged out at home. Then the Tigers next two batters struck out. But that last run was enough as Detroit managed their first win.

Game 5 was ugly for Tigers fans though, as the Phillies scored in each of the first 7 innings ans won 10-5. All in all, the Phillies outscored the Tigers 44-20.

Winner, 4-1: Philadelphia Phillies, 1st Championship
