1921 World Series

Mickey Mantle out also, of course, with the... now his, well, I might say the almost historic abscess that will make baseball history.

One time, you know, Babe Ruth had an abscess on his right arm and he had a miss, uh, part of the series, which we played in the 1921 World Series, I believe.

And, uh, he was out for part of the series.

So there have been some injuries to the stars.

Although Hoyt ultimately pitched the Bronx Bombers to World Series titles in 1923, 1927, and 1928, his plaque at the National Baseball Hall of Fame makes no mention of those victories.

Instead, the bronze tablet reads, pitched three games in 1921 World Series and gave no earned runs.

That one sentence forever enshrines a pitching performance for the ages.

Thank you for joining us for another chapter of History Books.

And the pitch, it's in there for a strike.

The Dodgers have had five.

Roseboro leading away from second.
