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.
