The top seeded 1905 White Sox faced the lowly 1901 Dodgers who pulled a big upset in round one have an even bigger hurdle as they pitching rich White Sox. This version of the Sox is basically the pre-cursor to the hitless wonders who won the World Series in 1906…
by Scott Fennessy Pittsburgh, PA 10/5/1905 The Cubs play the Pirates in a quick two game road trip before going home to face the Cardinals in a one game season finale. Today the Cubs send Ed Reulbach, who has faded late in his last start against Sam Leever. Sam has…
The Fennessy Cup begins round two. The first game was another tough one for fans of the A’s as they yet again allowed an inferior opponent take control early and force a furious comeback. The 1901 Orioles get a first inning run on a Mike Donlin double followed by a…
by Scott Fennessy Chicago, IL 10/3/1905 The Cubs face the Phillies for the last time this season. The Phillies are struggling badly, but Sherwood Magee and John Titus have played well of late, and former Cub Mike Kahoe has played his way into the lineup. Today’s starter Frank Corridon has…
What should have been a big mismatch sees the 1901 A’s face the horrible 1901 Giants. Other than Christy Mathewson there is a whole lot of terrible players. But once again the A’s underperform and Mathewson pitches like only he can and the Giants pull the biggest upset in the…
by Scott Fennessy Chicago, IL 10/2/1905 The Cubs get another big test today as the Phillies send Tully Sparks to the mound and battle with Mordecai Brown. Tully has been good all year, and somewhat the victim of the less than stellar offense. He has still managed a 20-19 record…
1901 Cleveland Indians vs. 1905 White Sox I had low expectations on this as the tribe is one of the worst teams ever and while the score was close the Sox dominated from start to finish. Earl Moore gave up a 3 run homer to Danny Green and they never…
by Scott Fennessy Pittsburgh, PA 10/7/1905 The Cubs face the Pirates in their final road game of the season, and this is basically a must win situation. The Cubs loss yesterday, coupled with the Giants annihilation of the Phillies in a double header sweep puts the Cubs down by one…
The first game was what I expected to be a blowout as the 1905 Giants were matched up against the lowly 1901 Reds. Instead the Giants were lucky to escape with their lives. You would not know it by the final score of 5-1, but despite the fact that Christy…
by Scott Fennessy Chicago, IL 10/1/1905 The Cubs got the win they needed in game one, but things get much tougher as the Phillies send their number one starter “Frosty Bill” Duggleby. Bill’s had an interesting season. He was really strong in the early part of the season, back when…
