Boston Pilgrims win the first modern day World Series
On October 13, 1903, In the 95-minute contest at the Huntington Avenue Baseball Grounds, a crowd of 7,455 fans claimed the right to see the Boston Pilgrims win the first modern-day World Series Five games to three.
The final game of this inaugural World Series started out as an intense pitcher’s duel, scoreless until the bottom of the fourth when Hobe Ferris hit a two-run single. Phillippe started his fifth and final game of the series and Dinneen his fourth. As he did in Game 2, Dinneen threw a complete-game shutout, striking out seven and leading his Americans to victory, while Phillippe pitched respectably but could not match Dinneen because his arm had been worn out with five starts in the eight games, giving up three runs to give the first 20th-century World Championship to the Boston Americans, Honus Wagner striking out to end the Series.
