1921 WORLD SERIES

10/5/1921 – GAME 1 GIANTS 2 - YANKEES 3

The Giants scored 2 runs early before Monty Slocum got in the groove and shut them down. It looked like that would be all the Giants needed, however, as the bottom of the 9th arrived with the Yankees down 2-1 in front of the home crowd. Pete Sloat came in to close it out and proceeded to give up 3 hits and the winning runs. Robert Hennessey drove in the game winner.

10/6/1921 – GAME 2 GIANTS 3 - YANKEES 2

One ninth inning comeback deserves another. The Giants rebound from last night's stunner by scoring 2 in the 9th off of Harry Gusser. Sam Goodrich led the way, batting 4 for 5 with 2 RBI.

10/8/1921 - GAME 3 YANKEES 4 - GIANTS 5

Fans in the park today witnessed what will certainly go down as one of the greatest games in postseason history. Down 4-1 in the bottom of the 9th, the Jints rallied to tie it up and send the game to extras, eventually winning it in the 12th with a run off Game 2 goat Harry Gusser.

10/9/1921 - GAME 4 YANKEES 4 - GIANTS 5

For the 4th straight game, the score came down to a run in the 9th inning. The Giants got out to an early 4-1 lead, but the scrappy Yankees clawed their way back into a 4-4 tie capped off by a homer off the bat of Henry "Sweets" Wing in the 6th. Unfortunately the bullpen let them down again as Charlie Porter gave up the game winner in the bottom of the 9th to Silas Chilton. The Giants head back to Yankee Stadium with a commanding 3 to 1 series lead.

10/10/1921 - GAME 5 GIANTS 4 - YANKEES 0

Lyle Wuehrle was on his game, allowing only 3 hits in 8 innings, and Patrick Dooley closed it out in the 9th, completing the shutout despite being a bit wild. Carlyle Jameson led the Giants with 2 RBI to put them 1 game away from their 2nd crown.

10/12/1921 – GAME 6 GIANTS 4 - YANKEES 5

The Yankees won't go down without a fight. Down to their last 3 outs, they rallied back from a 4-2 deficit for 3 runs off of rookie Giants starter Tom Paladin, snatching a series-clinching victory from their rivals with yet another walkoff win. Martin Youngblood led the charge with his 2nd homer of the series.

10/13/1921 - GAME 7 YANKEES 0 - GIANTS 3

Biff Best took the reins and shut down the Yankees' momentum with a 6 hit shutout. All the Giants needed was a 3 run 4th inning, sparked by a Rich Gloucester triple and sending the home crowd into a frenzy as they stormed the field in celebration while the visitors hung their heads in dejection.
