1911 was the eight edition of the World Series, pitting the Philadelphia Athletics (AL) vs. the NY Giants (NL). A’s won the best-of-seven, four games to two, in a rematch of the ‘05 World Series. A’s third baseman Frank “Home Run” Baker earned his nickname during this Series. His home run in Game 2 off Rube Marquard was the margin of victory for the Athletics, and his blast in Game 3 off Christy Mathewson tied that game in the ninth inning, and the Athletics eventually won in the 11th. The Giants never recovered. The six consecutive days of rain between Games 3 and 4 caused the longest delay between World Series games until the earthquake-interrupted 1989 World Series (which incidentally featured the same two franchises, albeit on the West Coast, and which also resulted in an A's victory over the Giants). With the sixth and final game being played on October 26, this was also the latest-ending World Series by calendar date until 1981. The MVP was Eddier Collins and HoFers were: Connie Mack (manager), Frank Baker, Chief Bender, Eddie Collins, Eddie Plank and for the Giants: John McGraw (manager), Rube Marquard, and Christy Mathewson. This ticket is from game 1 @ the Polo Grounds - SEC. G ROW H SEAT 11. The front of the ticket remains in displayable condition with signs of age and some material loss to the back. This ticket originally comes from the family of Larry Gardner who was an MLB player at the time.
