The 1930 World Series was the championship series of Major League Baseball for the 1930 season.

The Athletics defeated the Cardinals in six games to win their fifth championship. Philadelphia's pitching ace Lefty Grove, and George Earnshaw, the No. 2 man in Mack's rotation, won two games apiece.

The Cardinals led the National League in runs scored and averaged six runs per game in the regular season, but could manage only two runs per game in this World Series. This was the Athletics' fifth World Series championship win...
