1918 World Series

] |

Firsts and unique records

*Lefty Tyler was the first hurler in World Series history to allow eleven (11) bases on balls in a six-game Series; a record that has since been tied twice (Lefty Gomez in the 1936 World Series & Allie Reynolds in the 1951 World Series), but never surpassed.
*During the 1911 World Series Giants ace Christy Mathewson (1-2) pitched 27.0 innings. Six (6) years later Red Faber (3-1) tied the six-game Series record in the 1917 World Series and in this series Hippo Vaughn (1-2) tied the mark as well.
*The 1906 World Series, 1907 World Series, and 1918 World Series are the only three (3) Fall Classics where neither team hit a home run.
*The Red Sox scored only 9 runs in the entire Series. This total is the fewest runs by the winning team in World Series history.
