The Boston Red Sox Won The World Series For The First Time

The Sox had immediate success with players like Cy Young, Jimmy Collins, Tris Speaker, Smokey Joe Wood, and Babe Ruth throughout its early years. Boston won the first World Series in 1903 followed by championships in 1912, 1915, 1916, and 1918. One of the most well known baseball players in history, pitcher-turned-outfielder Babe Ruth was originally from the Red

Did you know that the Chicago cubs and St. Louis cardinals have never played each other in the playoffs till 2015. The Chicago cubs and St. Louis cardinals have been rivals since the late 19th century, but back then they were called the Chicago white stockings and the St. Louis brown stockings. The rivalry between them has been filled with hatred, friendship, and a lot of games between the two organizations. The cubs played the cardinals in the NLDS this year and won in four games 3-1. The cubs won the series by home runs, good pitching, and a healthy team.

Earlier this week, the Chicago Cubs won their first World Series since 1908. In his recent article, “What is the Chicago Cubs' billy goat curse?,” Ray Sanchez describes how one man, Bill Sianis, pronounced a curse on the Chicago Cubs in 1945. In 1945, Sianis purchased one ticket for himself and one ticket his pet goat, Murphy. When his goat was not allowed into the game he cursed the team and said "The Cubs ain't gonna win no more!”

The Chicago White Sox of 1919 were a clear favorite to win the World Series. They had all of the odds on their

If you’re a fan of the Chicago White Sox’s or the St. Louis Cardinals you might want to put this paper down cause this is just going to probably piss you off. Today, I am going to enjoy every bit of explaining why The Chicago Cubs will win the World Series again for the 2017-2018 season for a historic repeat. Myself, and possibly the rest of the cubs fan base is still at utter shock just saying that our Cubbies (Chicago Cubs) the team that went 108 years without winning a world series finally snapped the infamous “Billy Goat Curse” and brought the great city of Chicago a world championship to the north side.

The Black Sox Scandal was during the 1919 World Series. The Chicago White Sox lost the series to the Cincinnati Reds. This was the biggest scandal ever in professional sports. Eight White Sox players were later accused of throwing the game in exchange for money from gamblers. The players were acquitted in court, but nevertheless, they were all banned for life from baseball.

The 1919 World Series was very interesting to say the least. Some of the White Sox players wanted some extra money. I believe that this series is one of, if not the darkest chapter in Major League Baseball’s history.

The teams that were in the 1919 world series were the Cincinnati Reds and the Chicago White Sox. The White Sox's were the favorite for the game but in the end the Reds had won the game 10-5. This was a major upset and before the first pitch there had been talk of a fixed game. The game was actually fixed so that the Reds would win the game. Gamblers had payed some of the White Sox players to lose the game. The people that had to gain from the White Sox's loss were the people that put bets on the Reds to win the game. The White Sox's were the favorite so they would have a lot of people betting on them to win and not many people would bet on the Reds to win. The White Sox’s that threw the game were called Black Sox’s. There were eight Sox’s that

The New York Yankees were a very popular baseball team in the 1960s because of their ability to go far and win the world series 2 times in the 1960’s. In 1962 The Yankees went to the world series and played at Yankee Stadium(britannica.com). In the World Series, they ended up defeating the San Francisco Giants in game 7 so the Yankees could take the gold trophy(Britannica.com).Game 7 in the world series means that the two teams playing had an equal skill level.Each team won 3 games,but in the last game the Yankees took the gold by learning from their mistakes. In 1961 the

Murphy the goat, perhaps the most loathed living thing in baseball history, next to Steve Bartman. When the Cubs lost their 2003 postseason game against the Marlins, preventing them for entering the World Series, many Cubs fans felt like their world came to an end, though for Mr. Bartman, his world literally did, if only for a moment.

The Red Sox won! It was a super close game. The final score was 2-1 in the Red Sox Favor over the Cubs. Carl Mays did so good. He pitched the whole game and only gave up the one run. The Red Sox scored two runs early in the third inning and did not score again the rest of the game. The Cubs put the pressure on scoring a run in the 4th, but they didn't manage to get another run across the rest of the game. Something awesome happened in the top of the eighth inning though. The Red Sox brought Babe Ruth in to play Left Field! I was so excited to see him walk on the field. He didn’t get to hit, but it was just great to see him walk out on to the field and get to be out there. After a long day, it feels really good to be going to bed a fan of the

Transition: Heading into the World Series the White Sox were heavy favorites, and people in both cities believed they would make quick work of the Reds.

The Black Sox Scandal was the fixing of the 1919 World Series played between the Chicago White Sox and the Cincinnati Reds. The White Sox team were one of the best to ever play the game. They were a heavy favorite to win the series. Arnold Gandil, the first baseman, came up with the plan to throw the series and persuaded some of his teammates to go along with him. The players involved in the fix were: Joe Jackson, Buck Weaver, Eddie Cicotte, Oscar Felsch, Claude Williams, Arnold Gandil, Fred McMullin, and Charles Risberg. It included the team’s two best pitchers, three of its four best hitters, two out of its three starting outfielders, three of its four starting infielders, and the utility infielder. Collectively, the eight players accounted for 59% of the team’s wins, 66% of the RBIs,
