The offensive minded Yankees return to the World Series trying to repeat after beating the Reds last season. This time they face a familiar foe in the St Louis Cardinals, who are here for the 6th time in the last 7 seasons. The Yanks are powered by Eddie Collins, Stuffy McInnis, and Larry Doyle on offense. Tom Seaton and Hub Perdue man the bump for the New Yorkers most of the time.
St Louis wins 100 games for the third time and led the NL in both offensive and pitching rankings. Cobb, Baker, Wheat, and Chief Meyers lead the way at the plate while gone is Frank Corridon to free agency. Not to worry, the staff still includes Walter Johnson, Tom Hughes, and Charlie Chech.
Exorcising some demons, the Yankees dispatch their nemesis in 5 games to take their second straight No Pepper title.
