Tasting the championship within their grasp though, the Giants scrambled 2 runs in the 6th with singles from Meusel, Snyder, and Youngs. On his way to player of the game honors and series MVP, Giants hurler Jesse Barnes shut Philly down with a final perfect 4 innings to end the contest. The New York Giants take the series and the Roaring Twenties Ultimate Championship with 4 runs on 11 hits without and error while the A’s go home defeated on 2 runs with only 5 hits on 1 error.

Art Nehf

  • 1929 Philadelphia Athletics-3
  • 1921 New York Giants-10

The Giants started early placing three runs on the board in the bottom of the 1st and never relinquished the lead throughout the next eight innings.

RTUP-1929 Philadelphia Athletics at 1921 New York Giants Game 4

Mule Haas

  • 1929 Philadelphia Athletics-10
  • 1921 New York Giants-7

The big bats came alive in Game 4 of the Roaring Twenties Championship Series as both teams combined for a total of 31 hits and 17 runs. Both teams snatched a single run, Philly in the 1st and New York in the 2nd, but in the top of the 3rd, the Athletics took it upon themselves to up the ante. Batting around the A’s plated 5 with a 3 run homer by Jmmie Foxx and a pair of triples from Boley and Haas offerring a helping hand. The Giants could only manage a single run in the bottom of the frame while Philadelphia added two more runs in the 4th and the 6th. New York battled back with five runs of their own in the bottom half of the 7th and another in the 8th, but with Phily snatching up two more in the top of the 8th, the challenge was just too great for the Giants. Mule Haas was the key to the A’s victory going 4 for 6 with 2 doubles, a triple, and a pair of runs as Philadelphia scored 10 runs on 17 hits with no errors. The Giants fall with 7 runs on 14 hits and a single error.

Earl Smith

  • 1929 Philadelphia Athletics-1
  • 1921 New York Giants-2

After 2 straight blow out affairs in games 1 and 2, game 3 saw solid pitching from both clubs take the game to the bottom of the 9th and ended it in beautiful walk off fashion. New York took the early lead with an RBI double to center from shortstop Dave Bancroft. In the 5th the A’s tied things up with a Mickey Cochrane double after Philly pitcher Rube Walberg reached on an error by Johnny Rawlings, his 3rd in as many games (he would add another in the 8th). The score remained tied at 1 a piece until the bottom of the 9th when George Burns rocketed a triple into centerfield. The Giants replaced starting pitcher Jesse Barnes with pinch hitter Earl Smith who dribbled a single into left field scoring Burns and walking off the game. For his clinch game winning single Earl Smith snatches the game ball. The A’s fall in game 3 and go down 2 games to 1 with 1 run on 10 hits and no errors. The 1921 Giants take the game and the series lead with 2 runs on 9 hits and 2 errors.

RTUP-1921 New York Giants at 1929 Philadelphia Athletics Game 2

George Earnshaw

  • 1921 New York Giants-2
  • 1929 Philadelphia Athletics-6

Game 2 of the Roaring Twenties was nearly a repeat of the previous affair only in the opposite direction. Philadelphia came out hot piling up 5 runs in the first 3 innings and knocking Giant starter Fred Toney out of the game after only 3 innings. Three singles and a walk in the first snagged 2 for the A’s in the opening frame, and was followed up by a 2 run bomb by Michkey Cochrane in the second. Max Bishop added another run with a double to left in the third giving Philly a 5-0 lead in the first 3 innings. The Giants came back in the 4th with a pair, but couldn’t muster much else. The Athletics added another run in the bottom of the 7th when Giant outfielders George Burns and Ross Youngs collided in left center field knocking them both out of the game and giving Jimmie Foxx an in the park home run. A’s pitcher Big George Earnshaw earns player of the game distinction hurling a complete game, 9 hit, 2 run day with 5 strikeouts. The Giants fall in game 2 with 2 runs on 9 hits with 1 error. The A’s tie the series up with 6 runs on 13 hits with 3 errors.

RTUP-1921 New York Giants at 1929 Philadelphia Athletics Game 1

Johnny Rawlings

  • 1921 New York Giants-7
  • 1929 Philadelphia Athletics-2

Lefty Grove may have had a dominant pitching performance in the previous series against the 1927 Yankees, but he looked weak in game one of the Roaring Twenties Ultimate Playoff championship. The Giants snagged a run in each of the first two innings after a Johnny Rawlings triple plated lead off hitter Frankie Frisch in the first and a double by George Burns in the 2nd scored Dave Bancroft in the second. In the 3rd though, the A’s tied things up with a two run blast from Bing Miller. In the 6th a solo shot by the Giants Frank Synder put them up by one and was followed up by an RBI single to center 2 batters by Ross Youngs. The A’s added on 3 more in the 8th to put the game out of reach. Unlike Lefty who gave up 4 earned runs in 5 and a third innings, Johnny Rawlings kept up his excellent performance from the previous series and snags the game ball going 3 for 5 with a triple, home run, 4 RBI’s, 1 run, and a stolen base. Giants take game one with 7 runs on 14 hits with 1 error while the A’s fall with 2 runs on 7 hits and no errors.

Irish Meusel

  • 1921 New York Giants-12
  • 1925 Pittsburgh Pirates-6

Through the first five innings it appeared as if the Pirates would drag the series to a seventh game. New York started in the top of the 1st with a three run homer by High Pockets Kelly, but Pittsburgh came back in the bottom half with three doubles by Eddie Moore, Kiki Cuyler, and Pie Traynor before a home run by George Grantham put the Pirates up 4-3.

With 2 runs in the 6th, 3 in the 7th, and two more in each of their half of the 8th and 9th, New York decimated the Pirates pitching and came away with the game and the series. Left fielder Irish Meusel set a Statis Pro Baseball record with 5 hits on his way to player of the game honors. He also came away with 3 RBI’s, a double, and two runs scored. New York takes the easy win with 12 runs on 19 hits with no errors while Pittsburgh is sent packing with 6 runs on 14 hits and 1 error.

  • 1925 Pittsburgh Pirates-3
  • 1921 New York Giants-5

Game 5 of the NL Roaring Twenties Ultimate Playoffs was not nearly as close as the score as Art Nehf, who gets the game ball, made a solid performance and earned himself a complete game win. In the 2nd inning the Giants hits 4 consecutive singles to plate Frank Snyder and Dave Bancroft, and in the 3rd New York scored Rawlings, Kelly, and Snyder again for a dominant 5-0 lead. Nehf and the defense kept the Pirates at bay until the top of the 8th when the Buccos scored Barnhart, Smith and Carey to bring the game within 2 runs, but they could not manage anymore throughout the last 2 innings. The Pirates go down 3 games to 2 with 3 runs on 7 hits with 1 error. The Giants now stand within 1 game of victory with 5 runs on  10 hits with 1 error as well.

RTUP-1927 New York Yankees at 1929 Philadelphia Athletics

Lefty Grove

  • 1927 New York Yankees-1
  • 1929 Philadelphia Athletics-3

The 1927 Murderer’s Row Yankees have often been hailed as the Greatest Team of All Time. The 1929 Athletics have something to say about that as they take game 5 and the series. It was a pitcher’s duel as Lefty Grove and Waite Hoyt battled it out for supremacy, but in the end the A’s Grove took the win and the game surrendering 1 run on 6 hits and earning player of the game distinction. Both hurlers tossed a pair of scoreless six and a half innings before Philadelphia grabbed 3 runs in the bottom of the 7th thanks to 3 singles, a walk, and a double from Foxx, Hale, Bishop, Grove, and Cochrane. New York snagged 3 back to back to back singles in the 9th for their single run, but Philly took the victory on their pitching with 3 runs on 6 hits with 1 errors while the Yankees lose the game and the series on 1 run with 6 hits and 2 errors.
