One hundred years ago today, 15 October 1912, we find that the New York Giants Win 6th Game in the World Series, with one more win it will tie, 3 all. The score was 5 to 2. This was three days after the Boston (Red Sox) Jumped one on New York (Giants), with the superb pitching of Wood pulling out odd game, although New York Giants secured most of the hits. Read about that is this week's Issue of the OkieLegacy Ezine.

1912 - Giants Win 6th Game -- Rube Marquard made good his boast the day before, as he twirled his team to a slushing victory over the Red Sox, cutting the lead of the Stahlwarts down to one game. It was reported that another such nip and they would be tied, 3 all. How did the World Series turn out in 1912?

It was reported as the most vicious batting rally seen in years at the Polo grounds the Giants fell on Buck O'Brien for five runs in the opening inning. The Gotham rooters became howling lunatics. Boston came back in the second and garnered two while the Rube was patting himself on the back. Thereafter neither team scored, but the opening rally was enough.
