1885 World Series

The 1885 World Series (the "World's Championship") was an end-of-the-year playoff series between the National League champion Chicago White Stockings and American Association champion St. Louis Browns. The Series was played in four different cities (New York City, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, and Cincinnati). It ended in a disputed 3-3-1 tie. Pitcher Jim McCormick started five of the seven games for Chicago, going 3-2. Game summaries Game 1 (October 14): Darkness ended game 1 after 8 innings‚ with the teams tied 5-5. Game 2 (October 15): With Chicago leading 5-4 in the sixth inning, Browns manager Charles Comiskey called his team off the field to protest a ruling made by umpire Dave Sullivan. The game was forfeited to Chicago. Game 3: St. Louis won, 7-4. Game 4: St. Louis won, 3-2. Game 5 (October 22): The fifth game was played at Pittsburgh. The weather was cold and not over 500 people were present. The Chicagos won easily (9-2) through superior batting and fielding. At the end of the seventh inning, the game was called on account of darkness.1 Game 6 (October 23): The series moved from Pittsburgh to Cincinnati‚ setting a record for the series played in the most cities. (It was also played in New York and St. Louis.) Chicago took a 3-2 series lead by beating the Browns 9-2. Game 7 (October 24): Behind pitcher Dave Foutz, St. Louis defeated Chicago 13-4 in the 7th and final game. The Browns claim the game 2 forfeit didn't count and therefore claim the championship. The two clubs split the $1000 prize.2 References ^ http://thisgameofgames.blogspot.com/search/label/1885%20World%20Series ^ http://www.baseballlibrary.com/chronology/byyear.php?year=1885&previous=yes External links Baseball Reference - 1885 World Series v · d · eWorld Series 1884 • 1885 • 1886 • 1887 • 1888 • 1889 • 1890 • 1903 • 1904 • 1905 • 1906 • 1907 • 1908 • 1909 1910 • 1911 • 1912 • 1913 • 1914 • 1915 • 1916 • 1917 • 1918 • 1919 • 1920 • 1921 • 1922 • 1923 • 1924 • 1925 • 1926 • 1927 • 1928 • 1929 1930 • 1931 • 1932 • 1933 • 1934 • 1935 • 1936 • 1937 • 1938 • 1939 • 1940 • 1941 • 1942 • 1943 • 1944 • 1945 • 1946 • 1947 • 1948 • 1949 1950 • 1951 • 1952 • 1953 • 1954 • 1955 • 1956 • 1957 • 1958 • 1959 • 1960 • 1961 • 1962 • 1963 • 1964 • 1965 • 1966 • 1967 • 1968 • 1969 1970 • 1971 • 1972 • 1973 • 1974 • 1975 • 1976 • 1977 • 1978 • 1979 • 1980 • 1981 • 1982 • 1983 • 1984 • 1985 • 1986 • 1987 • 1988 • 1989 1990 • 1991 • 1992 • 1993 • 1994 • 1995 • 1996 • 1997 • 1998 • 1999 • 2000 • 2001 • 2002 • 2003 • 2004 • 2005 • 2006 • 2007 • 2008 • 2009 2010 • 2011 • 2012 • 2013 No series was held in 1904 because the NL Champions refused to participate; the 1994 Series was canceled due to a players' strike.
