Events

• July 29 - In the first game of a double-header, Smoky Joe Wood pitches a no-hitter against the St. Louis Browns in a 5-0 Boston Red Sox victory.
• August 27 - Chicago White Sox hurler Ed Walsh tosses a no-hitter against the Boston Red Sox. Chicago defeats Boston, 5-0.
• September 12 - In the nitecap of a game billed as a pitchers' duel, Boston Rustlers' Cy Young and the New York Giants' Christy Mathewson face each other before 10,000 fans, Boston's largest crowd of the year. Young gives up three home runs and nine runs in less than three innings. After the Giants build a 9–0 lead, Giants' manager John McGraw lifts Mathewson, who pitched just two innings, preferring to save his ace for the pennant race against the Cubs and Phillies. This is the only time the two pitchers ever face each other.
• October 26 - The Philadelphia Athletics defeat the New York Giants, 13-2, in Game 6 of the World Series to win their second consecutive World Championship. Philadelphia wins the series, four games to two. The six consecutive days of rain between Games 3 and 4 caused the longest delay between World Series games until the 1989 earthquake-interrupted Series, which incidentally featured the same two franchises, albeit on the west coast.
• December 1 - Future Hall of Fame member Walter Alston is born in Venice, Ohio. Although Alston will come to bat only once during a brief major league career, he will have far greater longevity as the manager of the Dodgers from 1954 to 1976.
