Pittsburgh pitcher Sam Leever injured his shoulder while trap-shooting, so his teammate Deacon Phillippe had to pitch five complete games for Pittsburgh. Phillippe won three of his games, but it was not enough to overcome the club from the new American League. Boston pitchers Bill Dinneen and Cy Young led Boston to victory. In Game 1, Phillippe set a World Series record by striking out 10 Boston batters. That record lasted barely one day, as Dinneen struck out 11 Pittsburgh batters in Game 2. Four Hall of Famers appeared in the Series, two for each side: for Boston, Cy Young, the winningest pitcher in Major League Baseball history; and Jimmy Collins, the third baseman who revolutionized his position; for Pittsburgh, Honus Wagner, one of the greatest shortstops of his day or any; and Fred Clarke, who managed the Pittsburgh team for more than a decade. Wagner, bothered by injuries, batted only 6 for 27 (.222) in the Series and committed six errors. The shortstop was deeply distraught by his performance. The following spring, Wagner (who led the league in 1903 in batting average) refused to send his portrait to a "Hall of Fame" for batting champions. "I was too bum last year," he wrote. "I was a joke in that Boston-Pittsburgh Series. What does it profit a man to hammer along and make a few hits when they are not needed only to fall down when it comes to a pinch? I would be ashamed to have my picture up now."[1] This first World Series would also be the first time a team came back from a 3 games to 1 deficit to win a post-season series, albeit in a 5-of-9 Series rather than the standard 4-of-7. It would not happen again until Pittsburgh came back to defeat the Washington Senators in the 1925 World Series, and has happened only ten times in baseball history. The Pirates repeated this feat in 1979 against the Baltimore Orioles. Although much was made of the influence of the Boston "Royal Rooters", Boston only won two out of four at home while taking three of four at Pittsburgh. The Pirates' benevolent owner Barney Dreyfuss added his share of the gate receipts to the players' share, so the losing team's players actually finished with a larger individual share than the winning team's. The Series brought the new American League prestige and proved its best could beat the best of the National League, thus strengthening the demand for future World Series competitions.
