1913 Cleveland Naps over 1960 Baltimore Orioles
Four games to three
MVP: Nap Lajoie (.429, 1 HR, 7 RBI, 1 SB)
An incredible series played itself out between the Nats and the Orioles as both teams went back and forth and carried this series into extra innings of game seven. The sentimental pick was the Nats who along with their namesake Nap Lajoie who had a big series, also claim a young Shoeless Joe Jackson. The marquee game of the series was a 16-13 scoreline from Memorial Stadium in game two. In the game the Orioles came back from an 11-1 deficit before leaving the game late. The series would also have the last two games of the series come down to the stretch with game 7 proving to be just as dramatic. Twice the Orioles had the winning run on third base with less then two out to win the series but both Ron Hansen and Walt Dropo couldn’t get the job done. The Nats would win it in the 12th behind a Lajoie triple that sparked a two run inning.
Cy Falkenberg won three of the games in the series that was lacking greatly of good pitching. For the Nats along with Lajoie batting .429, Jack Graney drove in 13 runs in the series in the middle of the lineup. Joe Jackson only hit .269 for the series but did have a key two run home run in game seven. It was heartbreak for the Orioles, Gene Woodling had an incredible series hitting .531 in the seven games cracking 17 hits. An outstanding series in many ways with neither team relenting or showing any quit.
