1906 World Series – Game Six
October 14, 1906 at South Side Park
White Sox 8, Cubs 3 White Sox Win Best of Seven Series 4-2
The White Sox made short work of Mordecai “Three Finger” Brown. In two innings, the White Sox tagged Brown for seven runs on eight hits. Brown left with two outs in the second inning and the Cubs never recovered.
In the first inning, Ed Hahn led off with a single and he was forced by Fielder Jones. Frank Isbell singled and then George Davis drove home Jones with a double. George Rohe hit into a fielder’s choice and Isbell was gunned down at the plate. Rohe then stole second to put two men in scoring position and Jiggs Donahue cleared the bases with a two run double to give the White Sox a 3-1 lead.
The second inning was even more brutal. Billy Sullivan grounded out to start things out and then Doc White grounded out to the pitcher. Two walks and four singles later and the White Sox had busted this game open with a four run inning, all with two outs. The Cubs scored single runs in the first, fifth and ninth, but they never came close to mounting a comeback off of Doc White.
White gave up three runs on seven hits and four walks with two strikeouts. Davis and Donahue each drove in three runs and Hahn had four hits and he scored twice.
The White Sox were World Series champions. Unfortunately for the franchise, they’d have to wait 11 more years for the next one.
