This newspaper contains a bold banner headline in the sports section which reads : "(Chicago) CUBS PICKED TO WIN WORLD SERIES."
This was the 1929 baseball World Series between the Chicago Cubs and the Philadelphia A's. As it turned out Philadelphia won the World Series in 5 games (4-1).
Great item for a present-day Chicago Cubs fan - when was the last time a Cubs fan saw a headline predicting that they (the Cubs) would win the World Series ???
The 1929 World Series featured the
Philadelphia Athletics
and the
Chicago Cubs
. The Athletics beat the Cubs decisively in five games.
This was the Series of the famous "Mack Attack" (so called in honor of longtime A's owner-manager
Connie Mack
), in which the Athletics overcame an eight-run deficit by scoring 10 runs in the home half of the seventh in Game 4 (before two straight strikeouts by
Pat Malone
ended it) to snatch a 10–8 victory from the jaws of a defeat which would have evened the Series at two games apiece. The Cubs were further humiliated in the middle of that record rally when center fielder
Hack Wilson
lost
Mule Haas
' fly ball in the sun for a fluke three-run
inside-the-park home run
, bringing the A's to within a run at 8–7.
