1916 World Series

In the 1916 World Series, the Boston Red Sox beat the Brooklyn Robins four games to one.

The Dodgers' Casey Stengel shined on offense in the 1916 Series but the Red Sox pitching core ultimately proved too much for the denizens of Flatbush. The Sox' Babe Ruth pitched 13 shutout innings in Game 2, starting a consecutive scoreless innings streak that reached 29 in 1918. The Red Sox played their home games at the larger Braves Field and it paid off as they drew a then-record 42,620 people for the final game.

Managers: Bill Carrigan (Boston), Wilbert Robinson (Brooklyn)

Umpires: Tommy Connolly (AL), Hank O'Day (NL), Bill Dinneen (AL), Ernie Quigley (NL)
