1906 World Series Game 6

White Sox: 8 Cubs: 3 (Sox win World Series 4-3)

WP: White (1-1)

LP: Brown (1-2)
The White Sox were considered the "hitless wonders" after they finished last in the American League in batting. They batted .230 as a team and faced the 116-win Chicago Cubs juggernaut in the World Series. The Sox outscored the Cubs in Game 5 to take a 3-2 series lead. The White Sox looked to close out their cross town rivals in Game 6. They started Doc White who saved Game 5 and took a loss in Game 2. The Cubs countered with Mordecai Three Finger Brown who split his two decisions. Brown shutout the White Sox in Game 4 and took the 2-1 loss in Game 1. The Hall of Famer Brown did not survive the second inning.

The Cubs scored first on a double by Wildfire Schulte. In the bottom of the first, the Sox scored three times. George Davis doubled in a run and then Jiggs Donahue knocked in two more on a double. The White Sox blew the game wide open in the bottom of the second. They scored four times to take a 7-1 lead. The Cubs never sniffed victory in Game 6. They scored another run for an 8-1 lead. The Cubs scored a single run in the fifth and a slop run in the ninth for an 8-3 final. Doc White went the distance for the win. Ed Hahn had four hits for the Sox. Frank Isabel slapped three hits. Three other players totalled two hits for the Sox. George Davis and Jiggs Donahue each drove in three runs apiece.

The 1906 World Series was the last time two teams that had never appeared in the Fall Classic faced off. The road team won the first five games. That would not happen again until 1996. Games 1 and 2 were played in the snow. That did not happen again until 1997. Patsy Dougherty became the first man to play on two World Series champions. He was also on the 1903 Boston Americans (Red Sox).

Despite the offensive explosions in Games 5 and 6, the White Sox batted .198 as a team. George Rohe led the Series in offense. He batted .333 with 3 extra base hits, 4 RBI, and 1.011 OPS. George Davis batted .308 with 6 RBI and .846 OPS. Frank Isbel also hit .308 with 4 RBI.

The Cubs fared slightly worse than the White Sox offensively. They hit .196 as a team. Solly Hoffman hit .304. Wildfire Schulte had the next highest average at .269. Neither club homered in the series.

Pitching provided the main difference in the series. The Sox team ERA was a miniscule 1.33 compared to the Cubs 3.40. Each team used only four pitchers. Doc White finished 1-1 for the Sox with a save and 1.80 ERA. Nick Altrock went 1-1 with a 1.00 ERA. Hall of Famer Ed Walsh probably would have been series MVP. He posted a 2-0 record, 0.60 ERA, 15 IP, and 0.867 WHIP.

The Cubs went on to win the 1907 and 1908 World Series. The White Sox did not return to the Fall Classic until 1917.

1906 World Series Game 5

White Sox: 8 Cubs: 6 (Sox lead 3-2)

WP: Walsh (2-0)

LP: Pfeister (0-2)

SV: White (1)
Game 5 was one of the wildest games in World Series history. Ed Walsh was not as sharp as his previous start, but hung around long enough for the win. His teammates battered Ed Reulbach and Jack Pfeister for seven runs in 3.1 innings. Orval Overall finished the game for the Cubs. Although no home runs were hit, the teams combined for 18 hits, 10 walks, and three wild pitches. There was also a steal of home, two hit batsmen, and six Sox errors.

The Sox scored first on Frank Isbel's double. The Cubs rallied for three in the bottom of the first for a 3-1 lead. The Sox committed two errors and hit Frank Chance to help the Cubs. George Davis tied the game in the third with a RBI double and steal of home. Pfeister replaced Reulbach after the double.

The Sox knocked Pfeister out of the game in the fourth. Walsh walked, but was forced at second. Fielder Jones singled to put two on. Frank Isbel and Davis doubled in runs to give the Sox the lead. Overall replaced Pfeister and surrendered a run scoring double to Jiggs Donahue. The Sox led 7-3.

The two teams traded single runs over the next couple innings. Joe Tinker scored on a wild pitch and Isbel scored on George Rohe's sixth inning single. The Cubs scored a pair of unearned runs in the sixth and knocked Walsh out of the game in the seventh. Walsh surrendered 6 runs, but only one earned. Doc White finished the game for a save.

Frank Isbel led the Sox with 4 hits, 3 runs, and 2 RBI. Rohe had two hits and George Davis delivered the big hits. Davis went 2-for-5 with 2 runs and 3 RBI. Ed Hahn scored twice for the Sox. Wildfire Schulte had 3 hits and 2 RBI for the Cubs and Solly Hoffman scored twice for the Cubs. The Sox were one win away from a monumental upset.

1906 World Series Game 4

Cubs: 1 White Sox: 0 (Series tied 2-2)

WP: Brown (1-1)

LP: Altrock (1-1)
Three Finger Brown demonstrated why he made the Hall of Fame in Game 4 of the 1906 World Series. He tossed a 2-hit shutout evening the series at 2 games a piece. Game 1 winner Nick Altrock was the tough luck loser for the White Sox. He allowed 7 hits and only a single run.

The game was scoreless until the seventh. Frank Chance singled and was sacrificed to second and third. With two out, Johnny Evers singled to give the Cubs the lead. Solly Hofman and Chance each had two hits for the victors. Put together, they doubled the Sox offensive output. Brown held the crosstown rivals hitless until the sixth. The game ended with the tying run on second.

1906 World Series Game 3

White Sox: 3 Cubs: 0 (Sox lead 2-1)

WP: Walsh (1-0)

LP: Pfiester (0-1)
The Cubs unleashed their offense on the White Sox in Game 2. The Sox hoped Big Ed Walsh could turn the tide in Game 3. The third year player went 17-13 during the season. In 1908, he won 40 games in his Hall of Fame career. Jack Pfeister opposed Walsh. Pfeister won 20 games in 1906. He won 20, 14, 12, and 17 from 1906-1909 and 8 games the other four years of his career. At the time, the Cubs seemed to hold the advantage.

Neither team could dent the scoreboard until the sixth. Lee Tannehill singled for the Sox. Pfeister inexplicably walked Walsh and then hit Ed Hahn to load the basis with none out. The pitcher settled down to get the next two outs, but then surrendered a three-run triple to Greg Rohe. That proved to be the ballgame. Sox won 3-0 to take a 2-1 series lead.

Both pitchers tossed complete games. Pfeister allowed 4 hits, 3 earned runs, walked 2, and struckout 9. The leadoff walk followed by the hit batter proved his undoing. Walsh 2-hit the Cubs and struck out a World Series record 12 batters. Bill Dinneen held the record with 11 K's in 1903.

1906 World Series Game 2

Cubs: 7 White Sox: 1 ( Series tied 1-1)

WP: Reulbach (1-0)

LP: White (0-1)
The Cubs team everyone expected appeared in Game 2. Sox starter Doc White lasted only three innings. Cubs hurler Ed Reulbach allowed only a solitary hit, a single to Jiggs Donahue in the seventh, and one unearned run in dominating the Sox. He was effectively wild walking 6.The Sox only run scored on an error by shortstop Joe Tinker. At the time, it cut the Cubs lead to 4-1.

The 116 win juggernaught scored three in the second off White. In the third, Steinfeldt singled in the fourth Cub run. They added another run in the sixth and then two in the eighth for a 7-1 victory. Harry Steinfeldt went 3-for-3 with a run and RBI. Joe Tinker added 2 hits, 3 runs, and a RBI. The mighty Cubs had evened the series

1906 World Series Game 1

White Sox: 2 Cubs:1 (Sox lead 1-0)

WP: Altrock (1-0)

LP: Brown (0-1)
The 1906 Cubs won regular season games and won the pennant by a whopping 20 games. The team boasted four Hall of Famers including Mordecai "Three Finger" Brown and the legendary infield of Joe Tinker, Johnny Evers, and Frank Chance. They greatly outmatched their crosstown rivals and World Series opponents. The Chicago White Sox won 93 games and included Hall of Famers George Davis and Ed Walsh. They would have finished 23 games behind the Cubs.

The Cubs started Brown in Game 1 while the Sox started 20 game winner Nick Altrock. Both men retired the first nine batters. The Cubs broke up the no-hitter with 2 outs in the fourth, but failed to score. Brown retired the first twelve Sox in order. Then, George Rohe tripled to lead off the fifth. He scored on an error by catcher Johnny Kling. Sox led 1-0.

The Cubs remained confident. Brown's downfall came from a leadoff walk in the sixth. Altrock reached on the base on balls, was sacrificed to second, and scored on a single by Frank Isbell. It turned out to be the winning run. The Cubs scored on a wild pitch in the sixth, but Altrock shut the door after that. Harry Steinfelt flew out to end the game. Sox won 2-1.

Both Altrock and Brown tossed 4-hit complete games. Brown walked 1 and struck out 7. The walk turned out to be the winning run. The winner Altrock walked 1 and struck out 3. The batter Altrock walked also scored.
