1910 World Series
The 1910 World Series was the championship series in Major League Baseball for the 1910 season. The seventh edition of the World Series, it was a best-of-seven playoff between the American League (AL) champion Philadelphia Athletics against the National League (NL) champion Chicago Cubs. The series was played from October 17 to 23. The Athletics won the first three games before Chicago staved off elimination in Game 4 with the first ever occasion of the home team winning on a double in extra innings; in modern terms, it is the first "walkoff hit" in World Series history. Philadelphia finished them off in Game 5 to win the series 4 games to 1, clinching the team's first World Series championship. This was the first major professional sports championship ever won by a Philadelphia-based team. Jack Coombs of Philadelphia won three games and Eddie Collins supplied timely hitting by batting .429, which led all batters in the Series.
