*Preliminary Round*
1905 Pittsburgh Pirates over 1971 Oakland A’s
Four games to zero
MVP: Honus Wagner (.667, 1 HR, 8 RBI, 7 SB)
Four completely sparkling games for the Pittsburgh Pirates and, especially for their undeniable star, Honus Wager. It was like Wagener had a chip on his shoulder and wanted to show the world just how good he is. Wagner went 12-18 in the series, hit a home run, drove in eight, and oh by the way managed to steal seven bases. Wagner is the true definition of a star who can carry a team. Still the Pirates had much more on their side as well and just overwhelmed the Athletics in a sweep that was in many ways not even close.
Deacon Phillipe had two complete game wins and started the series off with a shutout. Phillipe outdueled Vida Blue and allowed only two earned runs in the clincher. The Pirate pitchers as a team were dominant allowing only five earned runs for the series and handcuffing the Athletics with zero home runs. The Pirates stole 15 bases in this series and batted .326 as a team. When teams look at this series and scout it however, the only thing they will likely remember will be Honus Wagner.
