Decisions

Winning Pitcher Losing Pitcher
Babe Ruth (1-0, 0.64) Sherry Smith (0-1, 1.35)
Tight game! Hal Javrin out at the plate, bottom of the 9th
This is the legendary fourteen inning World Series, the longest World Series game ever played, and one in which there was but a single run.  Amazing.

Babe Ruth, we should note, pitched this game. We don't think of Ruth as a pitcher, but he was early in his career, and he was a great one.

Truly a great game.
