Playoff Race- Last Day

The drama was high for the last day of the season, as three teams had a shot to win the AL Pennant. The biggest game, Philadelphia @ Chicago, controlled the destiny for all three teams.

Philadelphia was able to knock off Chicago on the road 5-2, to keep their hopes alive. Reigning AL Batter of the Year Socks Seybold hit a 3 run homerun in the top of the 7th inning that proved to be the difference maker. If the Orioles won, they would take home the pennant. However if they lost, a hectic 3 team playoff would then ensue.

Unfortunately, there would be no hectic 3 game playoff as the Baltimore Orioles took care of the Senators 5-3 to capture the American League Pennant with a record of 78-62. Not bad for a team who finished 6th in the AL with a 67-73 record last season.

The Pittsburgh Pirates and Baltimore Orioles will get set to play the World Series.
