Philadelphia Athletics

And I think you could lip read Willis saying, "I'm all right, I'm all right."

Fans might be wondering the most runs in an inning in a World Series, that was the famous inning in which the Philadelphia Athletics of Connie Mack came from behind to beat the Cubs back in 1929 in the seventh inning.

The A's got 10 runs in that inning.

That's been the biggest inning in World Series history.

What role do you think it played that it was against the Yankees? How important was it to what you're describing as far as changing the course or even the self-perception of St.

Louis that that series was against Babe Ruth and the Yankees? Would it be the same if it were against Boston or the Philadelphia Athletics, or is it amplified by the fact that it was the Pinstripes?

i think it was amplified by the fact it was new york at the time st louis was the most western and most southern of all the baseball franchises and even back then you know new york city was kind of onto itself so this world series came up it was an interesting intersection Radio was coming in.

There were electric scoreboards outside newspaper offices across the country.

Yeah.

Old case seems to have a corner on it, although Philadelphia might do something this year.

Well, Bobby Shantz was the leading pitcher last season, and Gus Daniels a great long ball hitter, and Harry Bird was voted the rookie of the year, so they could be the team to watch.

Yeah.
